The Opera

I was looking in the newspaper one Sunday a few weeks ago and noticed an ad for the Utah Opera. Their newest opera is The Marriage of Figaro. I've always wanted to go to the opera and since I actually recognized the title of this one, I thought I'd bring it up to Andy. Surprisingly, he said that he has wanted to go to the opera as well! We have a babysitter, we're buying the tickets on Friday and my new custom made little black dress should be ready by then!! Now, I just need to find out what in the world the opera is about!!!! www.utahopera.org mentioned an online class that you could sign up for the 4 weeks prior to the opera. They are just little lectures that come into your email and you can read as much as you like! It really is fantastic! I am looking forward to knowing a little bit more about operas in general and I think I will enjoy the opera even more if I actually know the story!! Thankfully they have English "subtitles" to go along with the Italian singing. Aren't we oh so cultured??? Not too cultured though.....I still plan on bringing candy in my purse to snack on! You can take the girl out of Payson........
