Kathryn, do NOT be jealous of me going to the opera. It was weird. They were wearing these bulky animal costumes and clonking boots which might have been okay except that their footsteps drowned out the sound of the orchestra (Oh look! A band!). The plot was supposed to be about the circle of life or something deep, but it really seemed to be more about animals getting it on. It was an opera, though, so plot really shouldn't matter as long as the music is good. It wasn't. I mean, it wasn't BAD - but most of the singing was monotonous, the orchestration was unremarkable, and I hope to heaven no one from the production reads this. It would be so disheartening! They were all skillful - I just wasn't interested in the piece itself. But then, I have only ever seen very classical sorts of pieces. The Marriage of Figaro. Samson and Delilah. And I was listening to Puccini before leaving the house! What do you do? But then again, I was distracted by my seating companion. Five so

That is uber cool.
ReplyDeleteIt's from a Time magazine article. The magazine has actually been sitting under my coffee table for about a year. Yesterday morning, I saw the photos for the first time on David Michael's tumblelog, and yesterday afternoon, a friend opened the magazine and there were the pictures! I was so impressed when I found them on the website, and they've been sitting right in front of me in paper form for almost a year!
ReplyDeleteHa! That's good.
