Bizet's The Pearl Fishers

Today was pretty neat! This morning, I actually slept in until 9 (woohoo!), then went to the gym, tidied up, watched the Indian movie Three Idiots online (it's up on YouTube mom and dad!), and got ready to go to the opera in Salt Lake City with Lana!

The performance was Bizet's The Pearl Fishers, and I definitely agreed with the director's notes that this piece is known for its music, then the singing, then the plot. I may or may not have chuckled a little at some of the translation. "Sacrilegious love!" "You have summoned my fury!" "I will pray for you (but not you other guy!)"

when we first arrived
We ate dinner before at this place by City Creek called Brio, but to be honest it wasn't that great. We were hungry though so it was fine.

arrival selfie!

our seats actually weren't bad at all! The bar in the upper right hand corner was where the subtitles
appeared.

another selfie!


as we left
It was really a good time! I truly enjoy listening to all kinds of music, and symphony/opera is no exception. Pretty neat!
