Opera Day!

Another season well underway at the Harrison Opera House! Irma and I decided to meet for a little snack at Pasha Mezze in Norfolk. I had a wonderful mimosa and a muffin.

Der Freischutz

Tonight, I went to a nice dinner with friends from work at a little local seafood place near the office called the "Black Pelican."  

After, we headed to Norfolk for an evening of culture at the Harrison Opera House to see the final show of the Magic Marksman, or Der Freischutz by Weber. I'm always enamored at the art deco atmosphere that just makes me nostalgic for a time I never knew.

I was surprised that it was in English. I was really ready for some fine German opera! It was still lovely. I loved the sets! This was a wonderful opera and I truly enjoyed the rendition that the Virginia Opera took. Excellent job!

Falstaff at the Harrison Opera House

Tuesday night, I went to the Harrison Opera House with my friend Lorraine to see the Verdi opera Falstaff. It was amazing! Below is Lorraine and I getting ready to go in..

Inside the Harrison.. Intimate, but still holds a lot of people.  We were lucky enough to have some pretty great seats! This was my second Verdi Opera this year! I just say Rigoletto in February and it was amazing!

During intermission, Lorraine and I walked around and took in the beauty of the Harrison. There were some amazing chandeliers in the foyer! (Photo below)

The opera was awesome! It ended with the players having a cream pie fight on stage!
