Carmen, It's What's For Dinner

My first Opera ever was Friday night at the new Denver Opera house. Due to someone sitting in our seats, we were given box seats which turned out to be much more comfortable. Though I had no idea what Carmen was about, I was very excited to learn that #1 it was in French and #2 I already knew most of the music thanks to 12 years of piano lessons and commercials. The most recognizable song was the one the Beef Council started using several years ago as their major ad campaign. The Bellagio Hotel in Vegas uses it for one of their water shows as well.

My favorite part was that every seat had their own mini screen to translate the entire show. By the end I was picking up much more of it that I would have expected. Afterwards, we had coffee at St. Mark's before heading home to bed so we could rise early the next day to paint the entire livingroom and hall way. There are 8 doors in all there....More on that later.
