Fred is now anticipating barf alerts!

Change of subject: Are there any opera buffs out there? I know some of the more popular operas, but of course none of those is playing while we're in Paris next month.

L'Opera National de Paris is presenting "Boris Godounov" while we're there and it doesn't sound very appealing to me. It's based in Moscow and is about treachery surrounding the czar. No love story....I've always thought the love story is what makes opera so powerful. Does anyone know if this opera is worth $90 tickets?

Maybe we'll just go to Swan Lake (Le Lac des Cygnes) choreographed by Rudolf Noureev, and tickets are only $50.
(Mountaineer, there's a 3PM matinee performance that Sunday...hmmmm).

I have seen the Swan Lake by Nurayev, and it's fabulous. The principle dance was Cynthia Gregory and it was mesmerizing.

I highly recommend it.

I'd recommend the Swan Lake, too, but I think we'll pass, as Mr. M is not much of a fan and I'm only slightly moreso (plus, we usually can get as much ballet as we can tolerate free, as my sister plays in the orchestra for the Pittsburgh Ballet).
