On a rainy Saturday, the Latino Cultural center provided me and some compadres the chance to take in a delighful and quite humorous operatic feature: Dr Miracle. It was a free, short feature (50 minutes), where one could gasp and laugh until their hearts content. Nay, not your typical, quiet and lengthy opera, but it was still as wonderful.
We laughed and squealed with delight at the shananigans of a young and very handsome lad vying for the hand of a beautiful maiden. Her father the Governor had other matrimonial plans for her. Yes, he wanted her to marry a rich, older man who was a chemist.
What a delight this opera was!!! Le denouement came when zee omelette was served. It was a much celebrated and splendid omelette indeed! With all of the talk about the fine omelette and butter used to make it, we set off to dine on Thai and Vietnamese cuisine at Malai afterwards. It was a lively and delightful time and respite before continuing on to our secondary operatic adventure.
Vietnamese-style eggs benedict. Various dishes of veggies and jasmine fried rice, lemon and "angry" chicken and noodles.
At the Winspear Opera House for the finalists round. Ten talented hopefuls vied for financial awards to further their operatic dreams.
It was a great way to spend a rainy day and evening. Encore! Encore une fois!
