Can I interest anyone in seeing Tosca with me on Sunday?

Dammit, why are the good operas always playing thousands of miles away?

You have a whole bunch of goodies coming up next season...

I have to say, though, that I'm pretty excited about this. My dad loves Wagner, and my mother hates him. I haven't gathered enough data yet to make up my mind, but my dad might come up this summer to go see the whole Ring Cycle with me. Which, truthfully, may be a little too much opera for one weekend...

True. I'm just impatient. :) And everyone I know who's seen the full Ring cycle in a few-day window swears by the experience, so supposedly there's something in it -- although they are somewhat of a self-selected group.

Holy Mackerel! Pittsburgh's doing the whole Ring?!

My mother and father went up to Chicago a few years ago to have the Ring-in-a-weekend experience. I called them when they returned to St. Louis. My father: rhapsodizes about the production, describes it as everything he'd hoped for, marvels about the enormous brass horns in the orchestra pit. My mother: "Thomas, I love your father very much..."

I'm interested, but I can't make it.

Any chance you're going to FL for Passover?

I am, as a matter of fact. I get home Tuesday and I'll be there until Sunday.

Cool, send me an email. You are who I think you are, right?

Absolutely! It's my favorite opera. But then, my paper deadline is Wednesday...

Hmm.. Well, only you know if you can take a few hours' break...
