Review: La Calisto (Oberon's Grove)

September 08, 2017/ Joyce Yin

A review by Oberon's Grove of dell'Arte Opera Ensemble's production of La Calisto (La MaMa Experimental Theatre, August 20, 2017):

Joyce Yin as Linfea, one of Diana's handmaidens who is torn between preserving her chastity and losing it. Satirino, a lusty satyr, offers to solve Linfea's dilemma for her, but she fends him off. Ms. Yin's voice is clear and assertive, pealing forth to express her excitement. Stage-wise, she was a bundle of energy, and very amusing when she 'remembered' to strike the required archer's poses.

Full review here.

By Oberon's Grove.

There were times it took me over two hours to get home after an evening out (remember that?) and I'd wonder if it was worth living so far uptown. But I don't wonder that anymore. #nyc

Socially distanced #twinsies with our wine-to-go 👯&zwj;♀️ PS. this is the walk where I learned how little wine is actually in a bottle of wine 🍾🤯 PPS. do you suppose wine-to-go will continue to be allowed after things go back to "normal"

Beef bulgogi bowl, anyone? 🤩 Drizzled with #gochujang naturally. Also, a fried egg on top of anything and everything, please. Half my Hmart order was out of stock but at least the beef made it. #quarentinecooking #nyc #koreanbbq #homemade

Where shall we go? Into the sunlight 💛 Left my neighborhood for the first time in two months and went on a walk yesterday along the #greenway. Caught this moment on my way home as the sun was descending and hoovered over the bridge 🌳🌷🌿🍃 #nyc #hu

Here we go! There's no escaping myself these days, so without (or at least with less) judgement I jump in. “Progress requires unlearning. Becoming the best version of yourself requires you to continuously edit your beliefs, and to upgrade and e
