It's not just opera.

My mother, sister, and I went to see a production of Cats on Broadway. Horrible. I knew it was a mistake to go to an afternoon production, but we couldn't make the evening show. Second rate signing, second rate acting. Ugh.

Saturday evening performances are the best, always.

Opera, musical theater, symphonies, are meant to captivate and move the spirit, encapsulating you for a brief period of time in a unique and adsorbing experience.

When you start thinking about your "to do" list or checking your watch, the production has failed. It's like paying for a rental car that stalls every time you come to a red light.

By the end of the ride, most folks would be furious, too.

look what has happened to the national anthem. this will continue as long as people dont have to care about criticism and get grants and funding for having no talent.
