Best recent example of that is going to see La Bohème at the Staatsoper tonight. Jennie is probably the biggest legitimate opera fan I know, and she was ecstatic to find out that we could get tickets, and for only 8 Euro at that. Granted, we were in the proverbial nosebleed section where we could see about half of the stage at best. But it was awesome nonetheless.
Now, I'll be honest. I know next to nothing about opera. I don't have any real kind of refined taste in music, though I find myself enjoying classical music more and more as I am exposed to it by friends. I was a little worried that I might get horribly bored in the middle of the 3 hour opera and have to fight to stay awake.
I had nothing to worry about. I loved it. Now, I've got to get to a German opera!
