Holy crap, you guys. THIS IS SO EXCITING. Renee Fleming and Susan Graham both starred in the opera "Der Rosenkavalier" at the Met, and it's coming back in January. *GRABBY HANDS* Have some photos and a link to the plot synopsis + SOUND CLIPS!
Renee Fleming as the cougar Marschallin, Susan Graham as Octavian, her seventeen year old lover.
Ahhhhhhhhh. THIS.
The dress, it is SO PRETTY. I want to own it. Now.
I cannot even stand the slashiness. Cannot. Stand It.

So, i'm pretty sure only
violettavalery would care about this, and she just said she made a post. BUT I DO NOT CARE. I spazzed too hard over this at school to NOT make a post about it.
Time to go write a paper. Blergh.
