I also suspect that they don't have mimosas, which would have been the right thing for a mid-morning opera viewing.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15417898745197958575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892824740053161481.post-89556343694065105302010-01-17T08:07:17.051-08:002010-01-17T08:07:17.051-08:00So glad you got to see it!

I know several people who insist that the broadcast experience is nowhere near as good as seeing it in person -- to which my response is "But if I saw it in person I'd never be able to sit close enough to see properly." (At the first intermission during last Saturday's broadcast, I ran into a friend who asked if I'd noticed a tear running down Renee Fleming's face.)<br /><br />If I ever move back to Philly, you've got to come visit some weekend so we can go see a Met broadcast at the <a href="http://www.thebridgecinemas.com/home/home.asp?l=8275" rel="nofollow">Bridge</a>. The seats are insanely cushy, and there's a cocktail lounge.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03208212492856707267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892824740053161481.post-64538900972845386382010-01-16T21:19:22.076-08:002010-01-16T21:19:22.076-08:00We thought (briefly) of going to that here this mo...We thought (briefly) of going to that here this morning!
