A (Kilt) Night at the Opera

**McMurdo** · 21st October 07, 01:07 PM

I think that this would be a wonderful kilt night, I wish I had gone kilted when I was a subscriber to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and the Canadian Opera Company. I really hope youcan get something together for it, but if not you could always go with your F-H(BT)CAG and leave the rabble at home.

Good Advice, the lovely F-H.C.A.G. owns several lovely (slinky) cocktail dresses that she hasn't had an excuse to don in a while. I think a night out and about in San Francisco is in order.

Cheers

I hate to be a spoiler here but I've BEEN to the opera. Oh, my lord but give it a pass. Pick anything else. Go to the theater or even a happy hour but don't go to the opera. Horrid! :crap::crap::crap:

Have you been to this particular opera, by this particular company? I've seen several operas, and have enjoyed myself thoroughly. I have not seen Verdi's Macbeth(just remember not to say the name of the opera inside a theatre!), nor have I seen any production by the San Francisco Opera, but I've had a great time seeing various pieces ranging from Bizet's Carmen to Glass's Akhnaten.

If you just don't particularly enjoy the opera, your comment isn't particularly relevant to this thread.

Andrew.

Please go regardless of opinions such as the one above, if you enjoy it so much the better. Perhaps it will stir things in you that would otherwise lay domant, I certainly hope so. If you do not enjoy it then fine you never have to go again. However you should go see it for yourself.
