Friday Randall and I went to the Opera to see Macbeth. We initially weren't too excited. We had both had a stressful week and would have preferred to do something low key. Once we arrived down town we were glad we were there. It's fun to get away from the normal things of life and feel like for a moment you are someplace different and a tad more exciting. We even dressed in our Sunday best. People were dressed in everything from jeans to formal attire.
We had planned to just stay through the first intermission thinking we would find it boring especially since it was in Italian. We weren't aware there would be subtitles on a small screen above to help you along. Surprisingly we both really enjoyed it. The first intermission came and we decided we weren't ready to leave yet. The second intermission came and we would have stayed for the 3rd and final hour but it was already close to ten o'clock and had a drive ahead of us.
We're really glad that we took the chance to experience something we haven't done before. We enjoyed it and think should the opportunity arise again, we just might find ourselves at the opera.
