I went to Barnes and Nobles today. Did my counterpoint hw. OH SO GLAD IT'S DONE! and studied for SATS....=.= I know. anyway...

I decided to go watch Madama Butterfly outside the Met when i was done studying. I was a little late and the entire place was OUTRAGEOUSLY CROWDED. (Wish I had my camera.. Arghh.. Toopid SATS that made my bag so heavy.) my gosh.. and after looking on for awhile, i knew why. Cio-Cio San(Patricia Racette) was SOOO OUTRAGEOUSLY GREAT. her expressions... her sound was ravishing....and her every movement was so smooth it came together so naturally

... well.. yeah.. even though perhaps you don't always come across an American dressed as a geisha who sings Italian and then marries an American who speaks pretty perfect Italian himself!

btw, I also loved Suzuki (Maria Zifchak). Her voice was so thick and solid. Like rich, golden honey flowing right out of a bottle. Kudos to u!

Wanna watch it live.
