Culture and Class

Dallas has culture to offer. We were so lucky to join Bill and Barb to the Dallas Opera last night. I love an opportunity to get dolled up. After raiding my friend Tracey's closet (for the dress), getting some patent leather pumps at Ann Taylor, and a few hours with the curling iron, I think I looked the part of an opera attendee.
Don Giovanni is a womanizing murderer. The sets were amazing. My favorite scene was when Zerlina is begging Masetto for forgiveness. The humor surprised me. It never occurred to me that Mozart might try to make his audience laugh.
I'm so grateful to Bill and Barb for introducing us to the art of the Opera!

Funny, you have quite possibly heard me sing "Bati, bati, o bel Massetto" - I did it for one of my recitals at A&M, and it was definitely one of my favorites!

'us' to the art of opera. Are you sure you meant us? Would Joe agree with that????
