A phenomenal night at the opera!

[thoreau]

WOW! The San Francisco Opera knocked my socks off with BONESETTERS DAUGHTER. Technically, Theatrically and Musically it was the most amazing opera I have ever seen. The use of multimedia splashes of fast moving animation and sudden stops filled with acrobats and a breathtaking score. Amy Tan's story of strong women across three generations was beautiful. The standout being the character "Precious Auntie" - who is a ghost - and who sings in a minor key even when the orchestra is not - her words sung across octave long precision slide/glissando always not quite resolving. It gave a musical match to her other-wordly appearance. The choreography of Precious Aunty gave her a VERY real specter quality. Honestly - the most amazing opera I've ever seen. Michael and Michael scored jaw dropping seats - eighth row center. A simply AMAZING night.

We are so happy you enjoyed the evening! You are very special to us. The opera was breathtaking. (And I had such a handsome "date" for the evening, see the man posing with his tie above.) I am usually the one to fall asleep during the first act of any opera, but this work of art (music, lyrics, set, actors, etc.) was phenomenal. I was awake and jazzed through the whole thing. What happens next, what happens next?! Yea Amy Tan and all involved with this production!

We can fix that the next time you are in SF! This past Sunday you were a little busy a Brit, or rather he was busy.

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

British Tony: "Oh so tasty, filling and with a great aftertaste!"

[low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com]

You, Tony, Michael and bukephalus - four great tastes that go great together...

[bibliocub.livejournal.com]

What a taste sensation that would be!

Why do "bangers and mashed" suddenly come to mind?
