Just finished watching a double bill at the Met: Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci, two century-old operatic meditations on love gone wrong. Tonight's ticket was the last of my 2009-2010 subscription. I now have to decide what shows I want to see in next year's season and whether I want to take the plunge for Wagner's "Ring" cycle in 2010--a big commitment of treasure and time!
