Possibly my favourite motif for any story line, but especially for this opera. The music is ageless and the whole concept of this opera has been one I have wanted to see for a very long time. I just so happens that it is playing, along with Suor Angelica in Ft. Lauderdale this year. My mum, who knows operas much better than I do, said she would take me if we didn’t have anything planned that week. I couldn’t be more excited. I truly hope I get to attend.

As a fan of all things cultural and music related, this should be a fascinating experience.
