Me acting a fool at the opera. #Rigoletto #OperaSanJose

TFW you get to hang out in the donors lounge because you filled out a survey and end up meeting the young lady who sang Barbarina in Marriage of Figaro last season. #opera #OperaSanJose #IreneDalisLounge

Just saw #Tosca at #OperaSanJose. Great production and singing all around. Kidon Choi was magnificently malevolent as Scarpia. There are two more performances. Don't miss it. It made me wonder though, why are there so many operas about lovers being oppressed by corrupt right-wing authoritarians? It seems like that was a thing in the 19th century. And here we are in the 21st century and it's still going on.

About to watch a pompous knight get his richly deserved comeuppance. #falstaff #VivaVerdi #OperaSanJose
