Nabucco
Total Cost of Nabucco: €6.40
Vá, pensiero: Gorgeous!
Well, the day started at around 2:00, when I woke up. I went over to IES and checked my e-mail, and afterwards went back home, and then went to meet Mike at the opera. I realized that I had forgotten the charger for my computer at IES, so I ran back there and then all the way back to the Karlsplatz stop to meet Mike. (I had forgotten that I was supposed to meet him at the Kettenbrückengasse stop, so I was heading back there when I ran into him in the Opernpassage) After waiting in line with him and Kate, we got our spots in Galerie. It was a damn good opera....and I remembered a surprising amount of the music, considering I saw it for the first and last time at the Met 2 years ago....everything was good. The singers were OK....except maybe for Purdy (our bumbling friend from L'elisir d'Amore) but he didn't have any arias or anything. Zacariah and the woman (what's her name??) were exceptionally good......Nabucco himself I wasn't too pleased with, but whatever. The chorus was, of course, amazing! They have so many great moments in the opera, the most famous of which is "Vá, pensiero." Well, after a fun night of opera (and not much else, mind you) I went home.
