The Opera Virgin and Lilacs

Saturday, May 19, 2007

I was atwitter (yes, I said, atwitter) with excitement when Nathaniel escorted me to attend a performance of La Boheme presented by the Seattle Opera. My first opera! I was relieved to find out there were sub-titles. The story turned out as the expected love story of lovers parted too soon. It was intriguing but true joy was in the occasion of the event.

Natharbi made the rounds in the Crown Donor Room and chatted up several Bravo! Club members. When the intermission ding ding notice went off I proved just how fast a lady can make it in and out of the restroom and still be in her seat on time.
One question...why does everyone clap when the orchestra is just warming up? Do they need encouragement?

The lilacs were in full bloom this May night, so intense was the scent, I was conscious of a new fragrance triggered memory when we strolled in a Queen Anne park.

The opera can really build up an appetite. Cafe Minnie's fit the bill for a late night breakfast. Quiet when we arrived, the place was hopping with post "last call" revelers when we departed.
Natharbi breakfast favs: Chocolate Milk, Eggs Benedict
