I know it's going to sound biased by I totally loved it, it was beautiful beyond words, the dancers took my breath away and the music and the fact that that sound actually is coming out of the singers mouths and is not fiddled with amazed me. Her voice was utterly beautiful ( and believe you me, I'm a not huge fan of opera)
the ease at which both the dancers and singers do their movements/singing is incredible. My dad had done an amazing job navigating them and bringing them together.
If you are at all interested , it's on until Sunday.

Tee hee! I love the notion of a spot of father/daughter role reversal. As you were all puffed up with pride did you get the lump in your throat to boot? Way to go, Dad.
