    qwynng, you must have had waaaay better seats than us. I have been able to see the moon at other performances but we were in the nosebleeds for this performance, at almost $300 per couple!
    Back to the opera:

    Gordontaos, I did have good seats that night, but it was MANY years ago and things were a lot more affordable then. Opera tix were priced such that even a lad in his twenties, working as a paste-up artist at an ad agency could wrangle an occasional orchestra seat. Ah, the days when you could go to sit in the nosebleeds in Denver for around $6.00 (that is if you bought the WHOLE season for a whopping $18.00). But then Opera Colorado hadn't yet built the big opera house and was performing in the round at the symphony hall. Not ideal for staging. I digress, but imagine a Tosca trying to leap from Castel San Angelo when the stage is nearly the lowest point in the entire house...solution, she shot herself!

    Looks like you had an amazing night.

    Champagne, starry sky, balmy evening weather, culture, great food, beautiful women that are elegantly dressed...Yes, it was an amazing night.
