La Boheme

[gsh]

I've wanted to see La Boheme for a while. It is playing at Wolf Trap Friday August 7th. Pam tells me she has no interest in listening to people sing in Italian. Since I'd hate to go to my first opera alone, does this sound appealing to anyone?

Ooh... wish I could go!!!

Why can't you go?

I'm too far away, dammit. But have a great time!

Unsolicited advice: ignore the supertitles (if they use them) if you can. Reading the libretto in advance will give you the arc of the plot without pulling you out of the drama.

I saw my first opera as a kid before anyone told me I wasn't supposed to enjoy it, and LOVED it. I hope yours is just as good.

If you need a victim company, I'm willing to try it. The one caveat is that I have to be in town for that.

When do you find out if you are in town?

Maybe Pam will give it a shot. With the supertitles, after a while you forget about the Italian. It's just a love story, after all.
