OKay so shit it's been so long since anyone posted on this, props to lzhang for making an effort over spring break.
First week back at school after spring break was a pain in the ass, my homework skills are on point, and by on point I mean I don't do homework, ya that really screwed me over. But Meiting invited me to see this opera with her on Thursday night, and idk I've never been to an opera but plays are pretty cool and so are musicals and opera kinda falls into the same category as them so why not. I was actually pretty excited for a bit because Meiting' tickets were like front row jubilee tickets(ok like row six) and live shows are really awesome in my opinion, the opera started off with a song and I thought "oh opening music number and all" BUT NAH cause the song was in frickin ITALIAN OR SPANISH IDEK and I had to read these dumb subtitles that were strategically placed basically on the ceiling of the Jubilee so if you're sitting right at the stage you can either watch the singers on stage or read the subtitles but you cannot do both without developing some sort of neck cramp by the end of the opera... Okay so basically after the first song was over I thought they would start some sort of dialogue but they just KEPT SINGING FOR LIKE 3 HOURS IN ITALIAN and the worst part is there was only so much room available for subtitles and when more than one person was singing they couldn't show all the subtitles and there were times when I had no idea what was going on. And I may have fallen asleep during the first act because boring. I really do recommend operas to be sung in English....
Meiting really enjoyed it though, and if she reads this thanks for the tickets I really appreciated it even though the opera sucked :-)
