Narguile My Day is Coming Someday!
So, we were supposed to go to the Opera yesterday and my son got very sick so we weren’t able to go see Roberto Devereaux. I think the next one coming up is La Boheme, so I’ll have to see if I can get tix for that.
How I did it: I had originally blown a bunch of money on tickets to see the Dallas Opera - but my son got the flu and I couldn't go :( I found out that some movie theatres broadcast live from the Metropolitan if you go to www.fathomevents.com - for only $22 I was able to hang out in jeans and a tshirt at my local movie theatre and watch Madame Butterfly - it was totally incredible!
Lessons & tips: If you are interested in opera, this is the way to check it out! I am absolutely hooked, and only had to spend $22. Also, many people in the audience told me they prefer going to these because you can see everything that happens up close.

The singers and the music were sublime. I have never heard such beautiful, pure voices. But opera seems to have gotten pretty casual these days, or maybe it’s just in mellow Southern Cal. About half the crowd were casually dressed, some people even in jeans, though they were younger. And of course, everything was in Italian, so if you wanted to know what was going on, you had to read the subtitles above the stage. The result was this back and forth motion of your head, and you would miss some of Puccini’s slapstick comedy.
But all in all, it was very enjoyable, and I would go again.

The date’s set. I’ll be going to my first opera on Thursday, November 1!
I just saw La Traviata performed by the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The experience itself was interesting, but I found the opera dull. I couldn’t get into the story. That’s my fault though. It seemed that most of the people who were really enjoying themselves were appreciating the musical talent of the performers. So I guess I was wasting my time by fixating on the story, but that’s just my nature.
Zoe has lots of work to do!
There was an A level drama trip (I don’t actually do drama but they had a spare ticket) to “The Beggars Opera”... It was alright but the singing got a bit too much by the end of it. And I was really tired which didnt help.
i can imagine the opera experience from my favourite movie, Pretty Woman, ever since i saw that movie about 7 years ago, which i watch religiously every month when i am feel sad, i wanted to go see an opera. hopefully my boyfriend/fiance will take me on our anniversary!
