We’re coming for a different performance in a couple of weeks & I wanted to see Mary Queen of Scots, but Husband didn’t want to stay an extra night. SFOpera also doing livestreams.
We need to only go to matinees because evening performance of The Barber of Saville in June was a very expensive nap 🫠

Attended the closing performance of Richard Strauss' "Elektra" at San Francisco Opera. 'Twas a triumph. Nothing like an audience cheering matricide.

#Opera San Francisco Opera world-premieres The Monkey King, a dazzling fusion of Chinese and Western traditions from composer Huang Ruo and librettist David Henry Hwang. Basil Twist’s silks and Carolyn Kuan’s baton power the spectacle; Kang Wang leads a superb cast. Were you there? #Arts #SFOpera

The world premiere of The Monkey King at @sfopera sure was fun. Definitely a spectacular piece of theater.

So, Marriage of Figaro? My biggest complaint is a fuck ton of casual misogyny, & the ending
After plotting and scheming against each other for four acts, all the couples just decide to be happy? Any of these schemes would be relationship breakers.

I dislike summer. I overheat so easily. We are emptying and cleaning the RV, getting it ready to sell. It’s a lot. Friends are back in the hood for 3 weeks. I’m going to La Boheme at SFOpera on Friday with girlfriends. Happy Monday!
