• Turandot (okay, it's not Turnadot; clearly I'm an operatic ignoramus) was simply spectacular!

  Even if Dmitry did have a hard time staying awake for the first act, the nuisance.  

  I loved it.  The sets were marvelous, the costumes sumptuous and a feast for the eyes, and the music was magnificent!  I was rapt throughout the whole performance.

  Carolyn and I have already agreed we need to make plans to attend the FWOpera's production of "Carmen" next spring.  We both love "Carmen."

  It was killing me, I was yearning so much to sneak a photo or two or three with my cell phone's camera, but that's not permitted so I didn't.  Pity!

  Did get a picture of the hall from our seats, prior to the beginning of the opera:

  

  We had seats in the lower gallery, which worked great, I thought.

  Here are the kids, prior to entering the hall:

  

  Anyway, it was just wonderful!
