In a Facebook related turn of events, I won tickets to tomorrow night’s performance of Madama Butterfly at the NYC Opera. Needless to say this offers a fairly broke 30 something a wonderful opportunity to see more Opera live and for that I am grateful. At an Easter dinner, my cousins gushed over the power of the Madame Butterfly. While the NY Times had mixed feelings about the performance in March, I go into the experience with no preconceived notions of the event. I made this year of classical a goal of mine, and well here I am living it!
A few notes, the NY Philharmonic will have Alan Gilbert conducting his new Contact! series Friday and Saturday. (Full disclosure: they asked me to attend) and as seasons come to a close for the summer there will be more outdoors and possibly free events to and to this venture.
