Opera?
Can I interest anyone in seeing Tosca with me on Sunday?

	Dammit, why are the good operas always playing thousands of miles away? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	You have a whole bunch of goodies coming up next season... I have to say, though, that I'm pretty excited about this. My dad loves Wagner, and my mother hates him. I haven't gathered enough data yet to make up my mind, but my dad might come up this summer to go see the whole Ring Cycle with me. Which, truthfully, may be a little too much opera for one weekend... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	True. I'm just impatient. :) And everyone I know who's seen the full Ring cycle in a few-day window swears by the experience, so supposedly there's something in it -- although they are somewhat of a self-selected group. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Holy Mackerel! Pittsburgh's doing the whole Ring?!

My mother and father went up to Chicago a few years ago to have the Ring-in-a-weekend experience. I called them when they returned to St. Louis. My father: rhapsodizes about the production, describes it as everything he'd hoped for, marvels about the enormous brass horns in the orchestra pit. My mother: "Thomas, I love your father very much..."

	P.S. My impression is that "too much opera" is an important part of the aesthetic of the Ring Cycle. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I'm interested, but I can't make it. Any chance you're going to FL for Passover? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I am, as a matter of fact. I get home Tuesday and I'll be there until Sunday. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I get in on Wednesday morning and I'm there until Sunday. We should hang. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Cool, send me an email. You are who I think you are, right? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	stepleton 2006-04-06 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	Absolutely! It's my favorite opera. But then, my paper deadline is Wednesday... (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Hmm.. Well, only you know if you can take a few hours' break... (Reply to this)(Parent)
