Damn! I can't believe it. I tried to get tickets to the next Met Opera Goes to the Movies for this Saturday – their new production of The Barber of Seville. It's sold out. This early in the week? Who are all these people wasting their Saturday afternoons to sit in a movie theater? This is the second time that's happened to me. Last time, I didn't try to get tickets until the same day, so I thought I'd get them earlier.
Not early enough, I guess. No Juan Diego Florez for me, this weekend.
So I went ahead and got tickets for the next live broadcast at the end of April, Puccini's Il Trittico. THOSE were available. Sheesh. So much for my opera fest. Instead, I'm now looking forward to the Kansas City Symphony's concert this weekend, which includes one of my favorite composers, Mahler and his Fifth Symphony. Plus one of Mozart's Horn Concertos – something close to my heart. Or nerves, as I had to memorize parts of them when I studied French Horn in high school and a couple of years in college. Oh, the anxiety of the city and state solo/ensemble competitions.
