tonight chris and i went to see la boheme at the sydney opera house. the show was just fine, if not predictable- you know the character with the cough isn't likely to meet a happy end in an opera. but the show was extraneous. we were inside the sydney opera house.
there are people who don't like the opera house, who think that it is tacky or overrated or simply too white. i, however, think that it is breathtaking. stunning. it is magnetic, pulling you closer, forcing you to look just once more to see if it really can be that beautiful. and tonight i was inside it, inside of one of the most recognizable and celebrated buildings in the world.
before the show began we stepped out onto the north veranda to sip a glass of champagne and take in the harbour at sunset. why? because we could.
i assure you it was lovely. if you ever come to sydney, you must go to the opera. you needn't see the show even; but you must stand on the edge of the world's most famous concert hall and marvel at the beauty of the world's most lovely harbour. you simply must.
