bearshortyI had a whole day to grade and I still managed only one paper. I did do all the final exams on the train and on the ferry on the way to the city and during an intermission at the opera.
I wanted to see “Traviata” since I read about it last year. I’ve never seen in the first place but the new staging sounded interesting too. So in August I got tickets. I didn’t even know who was singing in it and was pleasantly surprised that Hvorostovsky was in it. I took Mama with me. We got to the city in plenty of time to pick up the tickets and then go to Columbus Circle to grab some dinner. It was actually a very nice time out.
The opera itself was really well done. I loved the first act. The death scenes did went on a little long at the end but that is usual in an opera!
