The Opera~ "A Brief Encounter"

I went to the Opera with my wonderful friend Annie a couple of weekends ago. It was so nice to go out on a grown-up night out! Cody was not upset about her only having one extra ticket, the opera... is really not his thing. It was a story, "A Brief Encounter", about a married woman and a married man, having an affair. The first half was REALLY LOOOONNGGG. It just drug out the fact that this woman and this man met and were attracted to each other. There needed to be more conflict or passion, everything was internal. Scene after scene of the woman berating herself emotionally over being attracted to this man. Oh well, the singing was wonderful, the music was pretty and the wine afterwards at Sambuca was delicious. It was fun getting dressed up, heading downtown and spending some time using my mind for things other than diaper changes and making lunches.
