A Night at the Opera

I finally got to see Poulenc's Dialogue of the Carmelites - an opera I've wanted to see for about 30 years - thanks to a substantial IRS refund that made it possible to pay a very exorbitant price for a night at the opera ( Read more... )

WOW!! It sounds like a very moving experience!!

How are your eyes? Are they both fully healed?

It was beyond description - even in a slightly less than stellar production.

The eyes are ... getting there. The left eye is fine. The right eye is slowly improving - but at least it's improving - only slightly out of focus, with a slight white haze. Each day is a little different, and better. The amazing thing is that I don't need glasses anymore most of the time - just the annoying reading glasses that I keep losing. There's always something.

I hope you've thawed out.

Glad you had such a good time:)There is a time to stay the course and a time to choose another one each one of us can know when the time is right but is far from an easy thing to do

So true - and this opera doesn't whitewash the dilemma of the process.
