It was good.
I'd never seen the actual caption thing (on the seat in front) though many people had tried to explain it to me over the years... Quite excellent the way it works w/o glare or distraction from your neighbor's caption screen....
It is always nice to realize that you are, essentially, still the youngest person in the room...
Beautifully sung... Even I knew it was good opera voice when it was good.... Soprano Natalie Dessay was brilliant.
Dad character actor was waay hunky hot, as I had been warned. Kudos to Dimitri Horovskorsky.
Seats were fabulous... Row K, 13&15... And comfortable and roomy enough for long legs... And my date Sue's short legs, of course.
Too bad there weren't more great sets to see up close for $200+ per seat (Free thanks to Danny)..... One would expect...
But not complaining... it was well staged and design aesthetic was good....
Fun little treat....
Though "little treat" doesn't really align with the magnificent Met Opera legacy...
So that's my La Traviata in a nutshell... Only wish it didn't fit in a nutshell...
