Times arts writer John Fleming did a wonderful preview of Buglisi Dance Theatre’s upcoming performance in Sunday’s arts section. The New York City company, which features St. Petersburg’s own Helen Hansen French, appears Thursday night at 7 p.m. If you missed it here’s the link:
Fleming also wrote a rave review of the St. Petersburg Opera’s production of Rigoletto. That show closed Tuesday but SPO will return to the Palladium in June with a production of Madame Butterfly. Here’s the link to the review:

It sounds as though Mr. Fleming had never seen Rigoletto before. His review was a little bit over the top. Nevertheless, the performance we saw was not bad. Sforzini and the band were very good and we enjoyed the singers most of the time. The tenor and the soprano had some trouble with their high notes. This was the best performance by this company that we have seen.
Bob Seely was spectacular. can we have him again in latter February or March, please? Robert Zito, New Port Richey/Rochester, NY
