Seeing the Opera.

Last week I wrote about our tour of the Metropolitan Opera. We didn't see an opera there, but instead saw one in HD at the local movie theater. It was actually a great experience! During intermission, we saw how they set up the stage and the MC interviewed some of the main opera singers. I loved hearing their different accents.   Before we went, our 4H group spent a few hours learning about Carmen (the opera we saw), and what is a soprano, tenor is etc. I would totally recommend, doing a class or reading a synopsis about the opera before you go  Really, if I blindly went to see Carmen, I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much.

When we toured the Met, I couldn't help myself! I bought a few postcards of different operas. I honestly can't wait to use the Carmen one in my Fall minibook.
