A Night at the Opera

New posts in the same week? Just don't expect it regularly :P

On Friday we went to see the San Diego Opera performance of "Murder in the Cathedral". Being a full-time student I was able to get a handful of discounted tickets (only $10 a piece!), so we made a friends outing of it. With the student pricing we weren't able to pick our seats and were expecting to be back in a nosebleed section--boy were we wrong! We had great orchestra seats, just off center, and were able to see quite well. 

"Murder in the Cathedral" is about the assassination of Thomas Beckett and is an Italian opera written by Pizzetti. The set was simple, but beautiful, and it was a fun experience! The only think I think I'd do differently next time is to be sure to thoroughly read the storyline synopsis beforehand so I could focus more on the singing and stage movements and less putting together the plot.
