I toured for 10 years with NYC opera national company. Why we didn't do this on our lunchtime mall breaks is beyond me…but this brought a smile to my face and joy to my heart! Thanks! hugs!
KCD – Wow – so honored to have you comment. I hope more opera companies do this – Opera really can be the music of the people – if we just bring tt to them!
Anjie –
Wow – I had no idea till your comment. Thanks for pointing it out to me!
Tyrie – Actually, did a whole series on my visit to Georgia – including Athens, a town I adore.
Beautiful. I think opera houses should do more of it. There are so many people today who don't know what opera is, how much talent there is in opera, who think that badly sung arias on tv talent shows is opera, or who confuse "popera" with opera.
A lot more people would go to opera if they just heard it.
FYI – for those who live where PBS stations broadcast GP at the Met. "Simon Boccanegra" on PBS at 9pm on Thursday and at 12:30pm on Sunday (on wnet/thirteen in NY area; on channel 21 at 3:30pm on Sunday).
shoot, i'm known for crying when i hear marching bands. this one did it, too. glorious!

Unfortunately, never get to see Atlanta except from the airport. One of these days, I'm checking out that town….
Levonne – thanks! I know – food + NYC – heaven, right?
what a fabulous public service! I'll be waiting for the same to come to a market near me… Are you listening Canadian Opera Company?
Ohhhh, I loved this! The Reading Terminal Market was my haunt for years. Thank you for posting this.
Love your blog! And, the recipes.

Kitty – thanks for the heads up!
Bix – I adore the Reading Terminal, and especially that despite all the changes around it, it has stayed pretty much the same.
medstudentitis- I love that every big city has a local opera company – singing with the homies….
Catniptyhme – thanks!
Wonderful! Wonderful! Amazing!!!
