This morning I dragged my cold-wracked body out of bed early and made my way to the opera. Not my usual couple of hundred mile trek to the city opera, but a mere half hour drive to our new and lovely local theatre, where, with the finagling of some devoted opera buffs, the live telecasts from the Met are being broadcast right here in little old River City.
It was fabulous. Riveting. Soaring. Gounod's "Romeo et Juliette", featuring the gorgeous presences of Anna Netrebko and Roberto Alagna in the title roles.
If you have the slightest interest or affection for opera and you have live telecasts happening in your town or city, go. Just go.
