Opera!

I've forgotten how much I love going to the opera. The last time I went was four years ago to see Baz Lurhman's La Boheme. And let me tell you, it was awesome! I mean, Baz Lurhman production, Puccini, LA BOHEME!! Anywho, The Marriage of Figaro was really good today. I guess I got sick of listening and playing Mozart that I never got to appreciate his larger and longer works. So I'm glad I went. The UCLA Opera is pretty impressive, some major talent. I realized that I tend to stop focusing on the staging after a while. I just focus on the music. And there's something about Mozart's music that just facilitates philosophical inquests in ones mind. I found myself thinking about so many things, some trivial, some profound. I like that about classical music, it makes you think. Or it helps you think. No wonder I did so well in high school: so much Mozart! Haha. Maybe I'll go listen to some symphonies and boost my IQ.
