SANTA FE OPERA

If you think that going to the opera is about as enjoyable as enduring a root canal from your dentist I have to say that you are mistaken.

Cindy & I went to the Santa Fe opera's production of Puccini's "La Boheme" recently. It was a great experience.

When you arrive you notice two things right off - the setting and structure plus the tail-gaters. People dressed anywhere from casually to formally sit around their cars eating and talking with friends. A few are grilling but most simply feasted on food already prepared.

The opera production itself was wonderful. La Boheme is a love story sung in Italian with English subtitles appearing on a screen right in front of each seat. During the show it rained a little bit and the cool breeze felt great.

We enjoyed our evening and may go back sometime.
