Even though our wedding anniversary is only two months away, we wanted to do something to celebrate our 10th dating anniversary, so we've got a mini-break planned for next month, and I found tickets on Groupon to go to Rossini's "La Cenerentola" (Cinderella), which was put on by Opera Roanoke.
It was a great show; lovely singing, some light comedy, and thankfully, subtitles! They sang a lot of notes/words for every line that showed up on the screen. (The whole thing is in Italian. If you're so inclined, there are several places on YouTube where you can watch the entire opera.) Matt said that this was not a very efficient way to tell a story. :) But I think he enjoyed it too. It was something totally different for us.
I'm glad that we experienced it, but I think maybe we're just not fancy enough to be regular opera-people? But we also went to see Insurgent on Saturday and determined that we're not really movie-going people either, so I don't know what kind of people we are.
Have you ever been to an opera? If you had to define yourself by one "thing" you love, what kind of person would you be?
