As Far As You Know

I bit the bullet and bought myself a subscription to the Metropolitan Opera, essentially booking tickets for six productions in the upcoming year, mostly on Thursday nights: Aida, La Traviata, Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute), War And Peace, Peter Grimes, and La Fille du Régiment. Taking advantage of the chance to pre-order additional tickets before the general public, I also lined up a performance of Tristan and Isolde in March. So I am getting immersed in the world of opera, I guess, and thus am committing to a bunch of trips into New York City. It's an expensive habit!
