The Anonymous Lover at Academy of Music

The story of the Anonymous Lover has been bringing audiences to theaters since 1780! This version that's headed to the Academy of Music in Philadelphia keeps all of the dramatic elements that are also part of the original plot, while adding witty moments modern audiences can enjoy. This makes the performances much more approachable and light-hearted than your traditional full-drama opera. That all means that this late January performance is perfect for anyone who is trying to dip their feet into opera but doesn't know which story to see first. The Anonymous Lover is a perfect fit because the story will give you a few laughs that break the tension of the night. At the same time, you'll be treated to powerful musical performers by the actors on stage.

Most of the main cast members who will be on stage at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia have performed at the show on numerous occasions. This has allowed them to find themselves in the characters and their own voice in the songs. The night tends to flow effortlessly for the audience, who will see how the 90-minute performance flies by. Originally, The Anonymous Lover is an opera that is split up into two acts with an intermission. That's not how this rendition is set up. On Friday, January 31st, you'll be treated to a 90-minute performance that runs all the way through without the usual break. The company has found this format works better because it keeps the audience engaged throughout the entire performance.

Few venues in the country are better suited to host events like this. There's a sense of glamour that the Academy of Music brings to opera night, which you won't get in other places. Finding a seat in one of the upper levels of the theater could provide you with the best perspective of the entire show. There's, of course, also a benefit to sitting close to the stage. From there, you'll be able to really appreciate the effort and emotion that the actors are putting into the performance.
