I saw “The Barber of Seville” last night. It has, I think, one of the most recognizable openings of any opera that I’ve heard. It’s great to just watch all the people in front of me swaying along to the music. And I know, for sure, that I could not have been the only person picturing the Bugs Bunny cartoon as the music played. The guy playing Figaro, Nathan Gunn, was very good and, looking at the photo in the book, incredibly good looking. My seat is much too far away to be able to tell myself.

This was my last opera of the season, which is a little sad. But, I did finally decide to get tickets again next year. However, for a change, I did give up my lifetime seat (First Balcony, Row M, seat 8 ) to get a seat on the main floor. The price was the same, so I thought I’d give the main floor a try to see if perhaps, I’ll be close enough to see the performers a little better.
