It ain’t over till…
Tomorrow night I am going to the opera…for the first time in YEARS. I’m /giddy. I looked through the entire seasons at both the Met in NYC and the Philly Opera and picked the one I related to the most. BEHOLD THE WINNER:

Hmm….synopsis:
This epic opera is centered around a beautiful Mandarin princess who possesses dazzling beauty, but a heart of stone. As countless suitors attempt to answer the mystifying riddles she poses, they meet their ruin. Can one brave, noble man beat her at her own dangerous game and at last ignite her passions? Puccini’s final opera and ultimate romantic masterpiece features a heartbreakingly-beautiful score anchored by the lavish melody “Nessun Dorma,” perhaps the most famous aria in all of opera.
Yeah it’s a total mystery why I relate to this one. Can’t imagine what about it drew me to it. Guess I’ll just have to keep wondering.
~Cheers
