good to know you are back.
shame we couldn't hook up, but good to know you had good shopping. ;)
anyway what opera have you seen and where?
I am not the biggest conosseur of the Opera, but the few experiences I had were very intense, apart when crowded by faggy dancers with small penis jumping up and down like monkeys.
But I must admit I have a soft spot for ballerinas.
I recall seeing a couple of Verdi's operas , one impressive "Aida" and a few Wagner (although I am not a big fan of his apart from the usual "valkyrie", ecc).
It's important to know what singers are actually saying or you miss most of the fun.
