The Opera?

I have anatomy at 8 in the morning, but I am not tired. So I am going to write stuff. I went to an 'opera' on Saturday night (at csub). It was called "The Festival of La Paloma." I was kinda excited since it was a first for me, and because it was highly recommended. IT WAS H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E. It had to be the worst thing ever. The songs were mixed, being sung in both spanish and english. Words were even exchanged in single lines... And I could barely hear anything being sung. And it was lame. The storyline sucked. Yes, I know it was cal state performing it, however if these people are theatre majors the least they good do is be almost good. And besides, they only do a big performance like this every 3 years, you'd think it would be good. I would have left at intermission had my mom not paid for my ticket. Good thing there was only 30 minutes (tops) after intermission. I don't deem it worthy of being called an opera. As a result, I now want to see a professional opera. Yep, I really do. I'm gonna find a good one to go to in LA sometime. One that is only sung in another language, not some english version of an opera. Ok... bed time.
