We saw the candlelight orchestra perform music from Bridgerton. Seems to be plenty of street party around the venue. Free on Sundays. The line was out the door and around the block but it went quick. There is nothing like a small town theater.

Last night's performance of "Grandiloquent" by GARY GULMAN at the The Grand Opera House was…read moreintelligent, deeply human, and masterfully crafted, the show draws heavily from his book "Misfit"--and brings its spirit to life on stage. Gulman is like a modern-day Scheherazade, spinning stories that hold the audience spellbound. He pulls you in so completely--you're laughing one moment, moved the next, and before you know it, the show has ended and you're left wanting more. His narratives are intricately interwoven with a mix of obscure and familiar references that reward attentive listeners. Gulman manages to be hilarious, self-deprecating, vulnerable, and razor-sharp all at once. Beneath the humor, you always sense his compassion and commitment to social and economic justice. My only reservation was a small but noticeable shift in tone: he used the F-word a handful of times. What makes Gulman so distinctive is that his comedy has always been brilliantly intelligent and genuinely funny - without relying on cursing. It felt slightly out of step with his otherwise clean style. That said, it did little to diminish what was, overall, a truly memorable and deeply affecting evening. Strongly recommend the show! A brief note for the venue itself: it might be worth considering a slightly delayed start--just a few minutes past the stated time--to allow late arrivals to settle, followed by closing the doors once the performance begins. The steady trickle of people finding their seats was distracting not only for the audience but undoubtedly for the performer as well. Additionally, a clear, firm announcement at the outset about refraining from cellphone use would go a long way. During the show, a guest in the front row was scrolling on her phone, and the glow and movement were quite disruptive to those nearby--one can only imagine how noticeable it must be from the stage. Small adjustments like these would help preserve the immersive, attentive atmosphere that a performance of Gulman's caliber truly deserves. Beautiful venue, comfortable seats, great acoustics and ambiance. Very affordable tix. The view from Orchestra, Row D, Seat 6 was OUTSTANDING!

Amazed to find that the DSO hasn't shown up on Yelp yet - one of the hidden gems of the Delaware…read moreArts Community. Having had various professional affiliations with this organization over the past ten years or so, I've seen this orchestra experience remarkable growth in recent years, due in large part to the energetic and artistic leadership of conductor David Amado. I suspect most people don't even know the DSO had a national release (Telarc, I think!) recording last year with the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. (Which was nominated for a Grammy!) They're that good! The DSO has been progressive in their programming with a nice mix of the standards, and a few out of the box productions like the orchestral scores to the Bugs Bunny cartoons - performed live WITH the films. But most importantly, the orchestra is composed of first rate musicians, performing in the historic, beautiful (though admittedly - a bit dry) hall that IS the Grand Opera House. (Worth going to a concert just to catch a glimpse of Wilmington, circa 1900!) As one who has become increasingly passionate about supporting local enterprise, be that the nearby, sustainable farms or family owned fine dining establishments, I hope more Delawareans will come to realize that they have this fine orchestra right here in town. These are difficult times for orchestras all over the country - hoping this one continues to thrive!

Opera Delaware is the main opera company in Wilmington, Delaware ... about 40 miles south of…read morePhiladelphia. They perform at the lovely Grand Opera House in Wilmington. They usually mount a couple of operas each year from the standard repertoire. But this year they have broken out of that mold and landed a biggie. Opera Delaware had just presented the east-coast premier of a long-missing opera - Amleto (Hamlet) by Franco Faccio. This was an opera that was thought lost for over 125 years until its rediscovery at the beginning of this century. Needless to say, many opera critics and aficionados are heading to Wilmington to see this lost treasure fully staged. Tonight's opening night was glorious. If tonight is any indication of the direction Opera Delaware is headed, it has a grand future!

I had a great experience in an adult tap class here, and then was charged almost three times what I…read morehad expected to spend. I had done pretty thorough research online, and even called ahead that evening to make sure it would be OK if I came to the class--my scheduling made me unable to come before, but my evening cleared up and it was something I'd wanted to do for a while. The person I spoke with on the phone seemed excited to have a new student, and encouraged me to come. Online, it says $15 per class, and as someone pursuing a career in musical theater, I follow a tight budget, and that fit in with what I typically spend for dance classes elsewhere. When I got there, I filled out new student forms, and she tells me there's a $25 "tuition fee"...I tell her that this is news to me and it doesn't quite make sense in my case since this is the only class I can attend in the semester, and I had misunderstood and thought it was ok to "drop in", like at most adult dance classes. She insisted that it's a tuition based program, so I considered leaving, without doing the class. At that point, she said to do the class and we can figure it out after. Turns out her idea of "figuring it out" after was to just make me pay it. I left in tears (I know, it's a bit of an overreaction, but I just felt very blindsided and taken advantage of, especially considering I had checked online AND called ahead to avoid surprises like this)... overall, great class but a pretty terrible taste was left in my mouth by the administration.
