Houston Shakespeare Festival

Perfect start to the weekend:

Miller Outdoor Theater

Inauthentic as it may be, I can't help but think of Desmedona's haunting "Ave Maria" in Verdi's Otello whenever I watch my favorite Shakespeare play:



"Prega nel peccator, per l'innocente,
E pel debole oppresso e pel possente,
Misero anch'esso, tua pietà dimostra."
