A Night at the Opera
Will and I attended the opera last night to see Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto. I haven’t been for quite some time and Will has never had the experience so I surprised him with tickets. I got balcony seats thinking that if he didn’t like it I wouldn’t have wasted hundreds of dollars. I thought I bought for the front of the balcony, but of course I wasn’t paying attention when I looked at the diagram and accidentally bought the farthest back tickets instead. Talk about a classic Jessica move. Will joked that he forgot his baseball glove. Several times he suggested that the vendors should be selling hotdogs over champagne. Note to self: balcony tickets stink(In my defense, I’ve never sat in the balcony before).
I digress, anyway, the opera was fabulous. They had a fantastic set of singers cast, hailing from several international locations, which was so fun! The orchestra was amazing. Will was kind enough to rent binoculars for me, which helped. We forgot the camera so here is the after picture. Will doesn’t look too tired, does he?
Thanks for trying to sophisticate “the boy” a little—I call him “the boy” the way he calls his son “the boy”.

April 10th, 2009 at 2:24 pm@ Dan, Maybe somewhere between the first and last row might be nice…the Dress Circle maybe?
