Last night was something different, I got invited to the opera. I’m not a total stranger to the opera, but it’s not one of my usual haunts. I’ve been to the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden in London (don’t remember what it was for) and once to La Scala in Milan for Verdi’s Aida many years ago.
So McCaw Hall was (I think) my third visit to the Opera and it was a very memorable evening. I’d forgotten the power of opera and it’s ability to tell a story. It’s very possible that perhaps I’ve not been in a place to appreciate it in the past, but last night was impressive. It’s an entertaining evening and the performances, especially Lawrence Brownlee, were spectacular.
I’ve always said that I love live music (and there are some good ones coming to Seattle over the next month or two), I can add Opera to list of live music that I’d happily go see again.
It was a very pleasant evening out and afterwards took a wander around the Space Needle to get back to the car. A wonderful evening.

It really was very good. I may not have converted you to Opera yet, you did say all I have to do is ask and you’ll be there.
Thank you.
