A Night at the Opera: Così Fan Tutte

I’ve just arrived home from the Gran Teatre del Liceu. Tonight I witnessed one of the most magical opera nights of my life. The play was Cosi Fan Tutte, the third collaboration between Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte. Let me tell you that I’m still in shock.

So, the blog is back

So, the blog is back. If you are new here, let me introduce myself (not that I have an entire page devoted to myself here 😉).

This blog is, more or less, a little fun personal, and experimental project that I’ve been on and off since 2020.

These can be chosen from a pool of thousands.
