The Enchanted Island

They might have called it "Placido on the half-shell.." An outrageous and ingenious mix 'n' match of music by Handel, Rameau, Vivaldi set to a mash-up storyline borrowed from The Tempest (Shakespeare) and Island of Enchantments (John Dryden). It's ingenious; it works; and Placido Domingo's entrance is a show-stopper.
