Here’s a shitty picture of a scene from the opera, Turandot on the big movie screen. It was quite the experience. Turandot was amazing. Opera is amazing. I was trembling as I was walking out. I highly recommend this Met Opera Live in HD thing. So worth the 22 bucks even when broke.
Here’s another thing: Every time I go to the theatre, or in today’s case, opera on the big screen, I notice that the audience is mostly made up of older people with just a handful of young people. In other countries, it seems like a normal, regular thing for people of all ages to go watch a play, a dance recital, whatever. So I always wonder what would happen to the American performing arts when all these older Americans start to die off with all their donations…
11am-ish in Los Angeles, watching “Turandot” via Met Opera Live in HD.
It was intermission.
