Caryn and I had a fun time at the opera. The visually presentation was sort of befuddling in a couple scenes, but the story was good, and the lead vocalist had a great voice. I disgree with the ending - no one was gassed in the french revolution, they were guillotined, but that's creative license I suppose. In any case, it was the first live opera I've watched and it was a lot of fun, I'd definitely go again, but maybe next time we can skip the gaudy, Vegas-esque, cabaret/burlesque scene. That was just plain weird.
