So I had the great pleasure of being invited to see a dress rehearsal of the Portland Opera’s production of Candide<\/em><\/a>. So much fun! The show is hilarious, just a little bit dirty, and incredibly cynical, and the performances were all terrific. I think Candide <\/em>is one of those operas that even folks who don’t usually like Opera would like, so if you’re in Portland I recommend checking it out.<\/p>\n

I didn’t have time to do illustrations as elaborate as I’ve done for past Portland Opera productions<\/a>, so I did caricatures of four of the characters in the show. I’m pretty pleased with how Pangloss came out.<\/p>\n

Also, be sure to check out the #pdxcandide tag on twitter<\/a> to get links to the drawings by all the other Portland cartoonists who were invited!<\/p>\n
