Don't encourage people who don't know what they're doing.

Brandon and I saw the Barber of Seville earlier this year, and I'm definitely going to see more. $20 is a good deal for a world class performance even if it isn't in person.</p> While not everyone can see the Sydney Opera House from their office building, I’d recommend the Opera’s that Cineplex has been broadcasting from the MET.

I knew that you’re supposed to know the story in advance. I even bought the programme beforehand and spent a half-hour out in the lobby reading the summary.

I didn't think that there will still places that served that sort of thing.</p> <p>Also I hope that someone warned you to read the libretta (that looks wrong somehow) before going to the opera. You sounded almost like you were expecting to follow the story. Poor Mike.</p> So I have to wonder where you’ve been eating vegetarian food where it’s just tofu replacing the meat.
