I confess that cost is an issue, but it is so worth it as nothing quite replaces a live performance. We have been to several UBC opera performances. Most of the students who perform have promising careers ahead of them so we often feel we have seen history in the making as you did.

I too am an opera fan, an opera freak, some might say. It's a pleasure to see this side of you. I just love how opera carries me away and lifts me from my humdrum life. (I always sat that one should never make any life changing decisions right after seeing an opera! All that drama does things to a girl's mind!) It sounds like you had two lovely operatic experiences.

I love opera also --and have sung many of the songs from many of them when I was YOUNG. (I was a Voice Major in college --but had to give it up in my 30's due to a paralyzed vocal cord.) <br /><br />La Boheme has always been a favorite of mine. Did you all ever see Gianni Schicchi by Pucini????? I used to sing "O Mio Babbino Caro" from that one.... Love it.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.com
