I went to the opera for the first time last night. I didn’t know what to expect, but it was something I wanted to try. I really liked it. The singing was beautiful and the story, though in subtitles, was very dramatic. I didn’t expect the amount of acting that took place; it was funny, witty in places. In some ways the writing was very poetic.
After experiencing it myself, I wonder why so many people I asked didn’t want to go. I think opera’s been stereotyped as some sort of thing that only rich people do. Maybe something that can’t be understood.
I really enjoyed myself and plan to attend more. I will call it an artistic date with myself.
(disclaimer: this is probably my lamest entry ever...but give me a break I’ve got a bit of a headache and so the brain is not working very well tonight.) :)
I was open to going! Just couldnt find the time. I'll go on an artistic date with you :)
