Knowing the operas already always helps - you know the MacBeth story but if you'd listened to the CD a few times, seeing it live would be a thrill.<br><br>Maybe or maybe not! <br><br>It's still rainy here, too, though I'm heading out early to go see the Annie Liebowitz show at the Corcoran. Museums are great rainy day destinations as are cozy days at home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-53286642271123296762007-10-27T17:52:00.000+01:002007-10-27T17:52:00.000+01:00I am glad you are back.

I always have to force myself to look more deeply to notice how the shadows and light play in the photo. But checking out flicker wouldn't be the same without the commentary. I guess I like learning how someone else is navigating life in NYC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-33330502725740888582007-10-27T18:13:00.000+01:002007-10-27T18:13:00.000+01:00I kind of with you on the opera.

I have gotten into opera, too - though I am VERY picky. I like dark operas, and stuff that tends to be more contemporary...Salome, Faust, Mourning Becomes Electra, etc. Other kinds of opera bore me silly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-32756073521910373342007-10-29T04:09:00.000+00:002007-10-29T04:09:00.000+00:00Well the blog break didn't last long, eh?!
