Although the seats hurt my legs, and it was a a tiny bit cold, experiencing an opera for the first time definitely surpassed my expectations.

To tell such a beautiful and heartbreaking story, accomplished in such an iconic location, Madama Butterfly did not disappoint. And to see such a display of natural vocal talent (amplified by the architecture of the building), made me appreciate the performance all the more.  It is truly an experience, for which I am grateful!!
