Opera and Me

I've only ever been to the opera about three times in my life. Not a big fan, but one must continue to try new things.

Last night I went to the Verona Arena to see Aida. 26.50 Euro's for the unreserved stone steps.
Four acts. Two 20 minute intermissions. 9:15 pm to 12:45 am.

The Arena is outdoors and simply amazing. The opera singers do not wear microphones and everyone holds up lite candles when the show starts. Magical!!

You can bring in food and alcholic drinks to make the evening even more spectacular.

Even though I purchased a program, I still had no idea what was going on with the story line.

I must say that I prefer ballet over opera.
