Fidelio

Last night was my second year Wedding anniversary.  Gordy and I celebrated by going to see Fidelio at the SF opera.  Although I really enjoyed being back at the Opera on Blue Blood Tuesday, nonetheless, Fidelio left something to be desired.  The opera is about a woman who dresses up like a man in order to infiltrate the dungeon where her husband is being held captive.  She was not at all credible as a young man.  Getting past that fact, the opera was not as engaging as it could have been.  It seemed like everything was served up for the audience with no exciting twists and turns.  The music was outstanding as always.  Beethoven never lets me down.
