That's great! My DH and I went to the Madison Opera on Friday to see Il Trovatore. Unfortunately for our DD she will have to be older when she does to her first opera. The minimum age is 12 for our opera company . Of course, if they didn't have an age minimum someone would take their baby!

Very nice SSB!

Funny it reminds me of the first time I took my wife to the Opera when she was 21 years old. We went to an Opera in NYC. We were late and had to sit in a little room with a monitor watching the Opera in black and white until an intermission. Once we finally got seated my wife had a coughing spell. Needless to say I have never heard so many shhhhhhhh’s in my life. It’s funny how upper class shhhhhhh’s sound just the same as an average Joe’s shhhhhhh’s except for the “I never” at the end.

Beautiful pictures.
