Mozart's Don Giovanni: 2006 San Francisco Opera production
Well, I've officially had my first expirience with watching opera in a movie theater; and I have to say that it was quite enjoyable. Of course, nothing beats the live show, but it was nice to be able to relax, in comfy clothes and watch a great opera. It was also nice to the enjoy views and sound of the best seat in the house for a price that, at the actual Opera, would leave you sitting...somewhere on Market St.
Great Opera Recordings

Brokeback Mountain is coming to an opera house near you. The New York City Opera commissioned Charles Wuorinen to compose a show based on the 1997 short story — which was turned into the 2005 Oscar-winning movie starring Heath Ledger (who died in January) and Jake Gyllenhaal. The opera is scheduled to debut in 2013.Opera Spotlight: Norma

A Night at the Opera
Last Friday at night I went to the opera to watch "Madame Butterfly" by Puccini (wonderful by the way, a must-see). Normally I don't go to the opera very dressed-up, but this time as it was a really good play I decided to borrow one of the dresses of my mother. Anyway it was a rainy and windy day, so I wore a black cardi that made the outfit more casual and more appropriate to the bad weather.
