What Was I Thinking?
Feb. 28th, 2011 03:40 pmOH GOD I JUST BOUGHT TICKETS TO THE RING CYCLE.
Okay, not the whole Ring Cycle, as such; I'm not that masochistic, and even if I was, I couldn't afford it and I wouldn't have a way to get home afterwards. But I did just buy tickets to see the premiere matinee of Siegfried at the end of May. Do you know how much opera that is? FIVE HOURS OF OPERA. EPIC GERMAN OPERA.
Chalk it up to a moment of temporary irrationality brought on the realization that I have been in the Bay Area for four years without ever going to the San Francisco Opera, and Siegfried being the only performance scheduled before mid-June, when I will be in the middle of finals and graduating and moving out. So Wagner it is. I'm not sure whether I should be excited or terrified.
(I'm also making plans with my grandmother to see a live broadcast from the Met of Lucia di Lammermoor at the local movie theater while I'm home for spring break. I have a lot of making up to do for the recent dearth of opera in my life!)
