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.
xx
