prima donna
As many of you will know, my favourite person in the world wrote an opera. It premiered at the Manchester International Festival this past summer. Obviously, I couldn't go.
However. This upcoming June, it will have its North American premiere in Toronto. And I will be there.
My mother and I just bought tickets for opening night. Row EE which is, ridiculously, the third row (you'd think it'd be the fifth, wouldn't you?), toward stage right. I will dress up and acquire opera glasses and feign being a classy lady that one night.
It might well be the only time I see an opera in my life, but I have no doubt it will be memorable.
June 14th, 2010. I cannot wait.
