The First of Many Operas

What do you do after attending your first Opera? Well, you blog about it. In this case, I didn't manage to get a chance to talk about this extraordinary experience for quite a while.

The experience is largely surreal. I was perhaps one of the few young-uns around though dressing up for the occasion definitely helped in adding credibility to my attendance. I don't need to review "The Elixir of Love". You'll find a lot of said reviews online. However, I will note that the first time you see a performance like this, for a brief moment your mind cannot fathom what you're seeing on-stage: whether or not it's real, or how it is that everything looks "so real". Funnily enough, I think it has to do with us being "that" used to watching movies at the cinema. This was definitely one of the highlights of my UK trip.
