Tom's Life Bits

We went to this in Cary. left the house at 11:15 for a 12:00 showing. Had to pick up our tickets at the box office even though we purchased them online. Price was $44 for two seniors, then my Visa Signature card gets a 20% discount.
The performance, over 6 hours long, was most enjoyable. We didn't have that annoying old couple talking behind us. I saw someone else had shushed them up. There was a middle aged couple sitting in front of us that seemed to be a date. Funny. The power glitched and we lost the opera for about 5 minutes during the scene where Sigfried is at the waterfall and Hunding and the hunting party arrive, just before he gets stabbed in the back by Hunding.
