I was actually in the audience at The Met when that young violinist was murdered. It was a ballet, actually, not an opera.

Wow. What was THAT all about?

We've enjoyed a few operas at the Met in past years, but as we live about 130 miles away, we have been subscribers to the Met Live in HD series for about two years now. We brought friends to an opera a couple years ago, and they were hooked, so they joined us as subscribers.

There are usually big crowds in two theaters for every Met Live in HD opera simulcast at our local Manchester, CT Cinemark!

I got hooked by the Michael Mayer production of Rigoletto. It was enjoyable enough on its own, but when they hit that quartet in the third act, I was amazed at the genius that could hold those four parts in his mind at the same time, put it down on paper, and have it come out the way it did. Nothing but Respect.

It was years ago. A very famous murder case. It happened during the intermission of a ballet.
