A woman dressed in a cowgirl outfit came up to me and said, "I'm the other one dressed differently....and I just had to meet the man in the kilt!". BTW, the LA Opera has never disappointed me..........and Tosca was incredible.

I have no valid opinion on waist coat / no waist coat, but I did see Tosca at the Budapest Opera in February. I had seen it here in Portland years ago. The Budapest set was very futuristic, looking almost post modern, but the costuming was traditional, and the set worked very well. I found myself completely involved in the opera, and thinking how well the set worked. The Hungarian State Opera House is one of the old beauties, very much like Paris. Unlike Vienna, it wasn't damaged in WWII. It was a delightful evening, even if there were no kilties there.
