Now I am taking my course -- on line. I enrolled without even knowing it.
The gift is that an opera streams on metopera.org every night, so no fees, only what you might want to donate. I have watched many night free.
Below is the list for the coming week. Rebecca is going to be putting aside Tuesday to see Lulu again.
I am putting aside Thursday to see a 1978 filming of Tosca with Pavarotti.
He would have been at the height of his voice. A miracle, that I can go back in time and her him sing. I will pretend I am 38 again.
And a double miracle that I can stand in front of my screen and do my physio exercises at the same time, pushing my age into the future with good exercise.
Sachleen Kaur, PT gave me exercises. I love how she works with me on Zoom. I like it better than the real thing -- in the office, other patients there, a draft. None of that here. Just a good life.
Scroll through this list and then mark the day that you want to see 20 minutes or more of anything!
