yesterday, i was lucky enough to be invited along, by work, to attend the matinee performance of aida at the royal opera house. i even got to sit in a box, how very decedent of me.
having only ever seen the dress rehearsals for the anna nicole smith opera, i can honestly say this was my first real experience and i genuinely loved it, the love, the hurt, the sorrow, tragedy and the death, it was captivating.
like a musical but only with 110% more effort put into the costumes, dancing, signing, it was truly inspirational.
yes if i were a little richer i would be there once a week, but it’s that whole thing of the beauty only being obtainable to those who can really afford and appreciate it. i'm not sure i would rather be saving for a night at the opera than a pair of shoes, but no musical will ever compete with this.
