CARMEN

[aimeekitty]

Well, what can I say, it was fabulous. Where Madama Butterfly had gorgeous songs but strange direction, strange costumes... Carmen had everything. The songs were amazing, the acting was riveting and the movement on the stage was spellbinding. I'm too tired to describe it in way that would give it justice, but it was wonderful. Even when Carmen wasn't the point of the scene, she smolders in the corner in a single evolving pose. excellent.
This one and the Marriage of Figaro (so far) are my favorites. :)

Wow, it was realy cloudy today!


Mitch and I brought some turkey sandwiches from a deli and sat outside by the fountains.


BTW. Friends, please don't wear tshirts, fishing hats and ugg boots to the Opera. I mean REALLY. We saw far too much of that today. (and Dear, Opera, why don't you have a dress code!?)


on the way from our car we saw this:
OH MY GOD. SO AWESOME. (Arch your back and look back at me, mean, like a dragon!)


Afterwards we had some amazing italian food and a great chardonnay that Mitch's dad gave us. MMM.

the obligatory bathroom shot of my outfit:
necklace, jcrew dress, Anthropologie sweater, bag, bracelet.

it's not like you have to dress expensively either,... I'm sure these people must at least own a nice shirt or a tie or something, right...?
(I agree!)
