The Opera

Well, I think maybe it finally happened....

....I may just have grown up into a big girl!!!

I went to see the opera, La Boheme, with Mam, tonight. It was her birthday present from me....wasn't I good to share it with her??

Being Mam's favourite, and one she has sung arias from all my life, I felt as if  I would know it. And I read up on the story of it so that I'd be able to follow it. (The only other opera I remember seeing was Madame Butterfly, and I was totally lost!)

It was really good!! I nearly (very nearly) cried at the end, but I didn't want to disgrace myself!

What a lovely experience!!

Today I am grateful to, and want to thank, my mam, for instilling in us an appreciation for music.

Thanks to her singing and playing the piano through all my formative years, I now get immense pleasure from music, both singing and playing....and going to the opera!!

Who knew it was such fun being a grown up???

Gratefully yours.
