Yes, I like Opera....I don't listen to opera cds at home. I probably like it because of the theatre with it... although I have always been enchanted with the Italian language (why don't they offer Italian in high school?). There is definitely something romantic about someone singing in Italian...
So, Mom asked me to go with her last night. And of course, I jumped at the chance. 1) Spring break has started with the kids - an evening out with Mom might help keep me sane. 2) I hadn't seen La Traviata. It had subtitles which the Spouse thinks would be difficult. It isn't - in fact it is surprising how your eyes glance up - take in the subtitle - and then watch the stage - your brain doesn't even realize after the first 5 or 10 minutes.
The only problem with operas.... someone always dies... in fact, the Director came out and spoke of next season's performances which includes Tosca in which everyone dies....I always want everything to end happily ever after.... I am definitely a Cinderella person. I want the evil stepmother and stepsisters to end up scrubbing the floors with a toothbrush while the heroine is trying to decide if she should go shopping at Chanel or Prada...
