It looks like we have a lot in common - love of food, opera, art and all things Italian. We were at the Met on Tuesday night and will be back to hear Netrebko in Lucia. I'll be checking your blog periodically now that I've found it.Ciao Chow Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04479595368522070565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-25005576829601531552009-01-14T00:15:00.000-05:002009-01-14T00:15:00.000-05:00Wonderful post Pat.

I went straight to their web site when I read this post last night, we have decided on La Traviata in June this year, it's a new style of performance but Anna Netrebko is Violetta and we have read such wonderful reviews of her. I am looking forward to the film 'Audition', the clip looks excellent.I am enjoying your music too, have a wonderful weekend, hugs, Kathy.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02560097220928952579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-27850356230025113582009-01-09T23:27:00.000-05:002009-01-09T23:27:00.000-05:00Well I have to admit I've never been to an opera e...Well I have to admit I've never been to an opera either but I would like to go someday.

There on the stool were a pair of glasses, a coffe cup and a piece of sheet music. They belonged to Kiri Te Kanawa who had just stepped out to lunch. It was almost too much to take in for one afternoon.Pamela Terry and Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746603636884819522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-69551776854484559112009-01-08T21:11:00.000-05:002009-01-08T21:11:00.000-05:00I have never been to the opera.

I love Luciano... and faithfully view the clips of him on You-Tube. One of my greatest regrets is not having made the effort to see him in person. I adore his voice and the man. I love the fact that he started his career singing in the church choir with his precious father. Anyhow, I do love opera, and I enjoyed this post.<BR/><BR/>Sending much love to you this Thankful Thursday, and I'm thankful that I found YOU and YOUR BLOG! :-)<BR/><BR/>XO,<BR/><BR/>Sheila... who loves those baby pics on your side panel! :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-2359750366334743782009-01-08T19:38:00.000-05:002009-01-08T19:38:00.000-05:00Pat, I'm like Rachael.

But after reading your post while listening to your playlist, I'm sure I would love to go at least once. I found a children's book about the opera recently at the thrift store. I think I'll post some pictures from it tonight.steviewrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233066158555762167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-21521014635922117282009-01-08T19:09:00.000-05:002009-01-08T19:09:00.000-05:00Wow!
