yesterday i was presented with the most random opportunity that i just could not pass up: second row seats to the LA opera at the dorothy chandler pavilion in downtown. ive never attended such an elaborate event, but i followed along to the best of my ability, the german opera 'lohengrin'.
despite only making it through two out of three acts, it was definitely an interesting place to people watch and outfit evaluate. will i ever make a return appearance to the opera? who knows, but free tickets with a view of the orchestra was definitely a great debut into such an illustrious stage tradition.
