last night i went to the san francisco opera house to see a performace of the magic flute… and oh my god… i’m hooked!! ok, so i could have done without the pretension, but it was worth it. first of all, the orchestra blew me away! hands down the best musicians i’ve seen in a long time. the first chair violinist and the glockenspiel player were out of this world. and the actors themselves were brilliant story tellers and vocalists. the woman who played the queen of the night hit a series of notes that could have punctured my ear drum if not executed perfectly… but she nailed it! and the set design was so interesting, not to mention the hair, make-up and wardrobe! so that’s it… i’m hooked.
