If they are all of the quality of this set,
it's a shame they're not longer.

I just love that sweet lady in white. She looks so happy!

She's definitely the focus of the picture. ;>

Thanks!

How old are all these people? Is it that youth doesn't like the immense Wagner or is it that they can't afford it (how much is a britney gig anyway?)... For a split second I thought you'd been down to Florida for that one... (no offense intended!)

I was surprised at how few people were my age (48) or younger. I think it's partly that opera companies know they'll sell out a Ring cycle no matter the ticket price, and they use it to subsidize other performances, which means they can charge what they want; the most expensive tickets were $200 per show, and the cheap seats were $60.
