3 things make a post

1. I'm now an auditor at the Louvre museul for the summer. I'll be attending lectures on Ancient Medicine. Cool stuff.

2. Opera! My dad got the tickets for next season (2013-2014). We'll be watching: Aida (Verdi), La fanciulla del West (Puccini), Die Zauberflöte (Mozart), L'italiana in Algeri (Rossini), La traviata (Verdi) and Madama Butterfly (Puccini). Plus he managed to get the places relatively cheap, it'll be great.

3. My mom broke her arm while twisting her ankle.

Omg, opera tickets *_* I am so jealous, yo.

Some cinemas where I am show live broadcasts of operas and ballets, so many there's one near you who does.

I've heard of places like that, but they don't do it here, unfortunately. Maybe some day I'll live somewhere that has that kind of thing. u3ub

That's a shame, the one ballet I saw was really great. I suppose you can find performances on youtube, but it's not the same.

I didn't know you could audit courses at that museum! Cool! What time period is defined as ancient?

And that looks like a fantastic opera lineup. All the big opera names (and their super famous pieces) all in one season :)

According to the programme, it'll be mostly Greek and Roman with some Etruscan. It's a one week course, so it won't be very in-depth.

The Paris Opera has had a great line-up those past few years. Lots of Italians which will be a change from last year, where I saw mostly Germans, especially Wagner.
