When it comes to opera, I’m basically a cretin. And right now, a very proud cretin.
Reeve’s in the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama’s production of Sergei Prokofiev’s “Love of Three Oranges,” which opened last night. He called after the show, giddy with the excitement of community, collaboration, and a show well done. He sent photos, and my heart swelled.
So forgive me for getting a little braggy here about my boy’s part in a realm I know little about. It’s one of those things we cretin moms do best. . .
