i was excited to hear about the met operas last year and saw "la cenerentola." it wasn't my favorite opera, but i very much liked the experience of being able to see a met performance. i especially appreciated the backstage views and performer interviews - very cool.

anywho, i would encourage anyone to check out their local opera - big city or small town. you might be surprised by the talent you find. the first opera i went to was in binghamton, ny; they performed "pagliacci" and "sour angelica." they had brought in two performers from other cities and that small town experience made me instantly fall in love with opera. now, i saw two or three other operas there that were...well...not great. but you never know, it's worth a try!]]> The Shack (Paperback) by William P.
