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.

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.
