"So even as it embarks on its 42nd season hardly a Sand Hill Road-funded startup it's not afraid to be a little disruptive. Just look at the production of Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte opening this weekend at the California Theatre, directed by Alek Shrader and with Music Director Joseph Marcheso leading the orchestra. Instead of a gala Saturday night debut, the first performance is a matinee on Sunday."
"That's going to be the norm for all the shows this season a Sunday matinee opening followed by two weekends of Friday and Sunday performances. The point isn't to free up Saturday nights for opera fans but to make sure those arias sound as good as they can at every performance.
