The Phantom of the Opera and good company

[beowabbit]

Got to see The Phantom of the Opera tonight with a bunch of good people, preceded by spectacularly yummy pear, gorgonzola, and greens pizza at California Pizza Kitchen. Very good company: cathijosephine, mrpet, docorion, cathijosephine’s LJ-bereft friend C. who actually got us the tickets for cheap, C.’s sweetie D., and eisa and buxom_bey, which latter two met us at the theater after dinner.

I didn’t feel all that excited about the performance itself, but it was a wonderful experience all the same. The Opera House is physically, visually impressive in its ornate beauty; I’m glad places like that still exist and are still being maintained. The play also had a lot of ornate beauty and pageantry to it.

I definitely want to see more theater. And this made me want to see a more classical opera. I don’t like recorded opera music, but I think I’d enjoy it live.

I feel like I’ve got lots more to say, but I also feel like I should have been in bed hours ago. :-)

I am seeing the opera next Tuesday with LJ=fibrowitch & can't wait. I've never been to any opera/musical/theater anything before so I can't wait. Was this your first time too? I've just seen the movie recently in the theater (Hollywood Hits, Danvers). The movie was amazing. So amazing I went to see it several times :) There were freaks there that were going to watch the movie twice a day for weeks. OK sure I was enthrawled with the movie too, but they were insane. So I finally talked to them & asked them what they found so appealing about the movie. Well check this out... http://kimee.blog-city.com/read/1151438.htm Yes I guess I am a bad influence :)

*Snicker*.I was certainly thinking of the D/S implications while I watched it. The Phantom and Christine’s scene wasn’t all that safe, sane, or consensual, of course. I haven’t seen Labyrinth or A Doll’s House.
