Opera

Yeah yeah, I know what you are thinking... what is this girl talking about now? She cannot like Opera! She is too much into her pop music!!!

Well, you are wrong! Actually I like classical music, some opera too, and nice relaxing music... makes me think if it's because I'm going to turn forty... but then again, I think of all the young composers and musicians and I just shake my head and say.. nah.. they are younger than me.

Why am I mentioning this? Because this week was very special, this week was a very cultural and oh so much fun week.

Tuesday we went to the Cultural Center here, where a chorus of musicians from Austria performed Carmina Burana from Carl Orff, I will be honest and tell you that I thought I was going to be bored, specially since there are some areas I am not too fond off, but, how wrong I was.. it's so impressive such an addrenaline rush listening to them, and live and... oh yes, very impressive, I had a wonderful time and I would go watch them again and again.

Saturday, we went to San Diego, The San Diego Opera is showing some operas at the movie theater, I think it's a wonderful oportunity for people like us who cannot attend the opera. On February we went to watch one from Placido Domingo, and to my point of view NOBODY can top Placido Domingo.. NOBODY. This last Saturday was specially exciting since they showed The Barber of Seville live from the Metropolitan Theater in New York, yep! Live Opera from New York! I find that very exciting, they showed backstage and live interviews, but most of all, it was so SO SO much fun and those voices were SO impressive!! SO beautiful that not even the audiance from NY were cheering but we were cheering too at the movie Theater!! It was so amazingly pretty, so awsome, that I still haven't been able to get over it yet.

One of these days I will have to go to New York and see one of these wonderful Operas.
