I have seen several productions, but don't really know much about the opera. My rabbi's daughter and her husband run an opera company, and they have used my daughter in their productions a couple of times. I think it helps to read a brief summary of the story you are seeing. As for the ones I've seen, they have all been about love and loss, which are spoken in the universal language. You need not speak Italian to understand. I think you will really enjoy it. (I do.)
