I actually considered recording myself for you.  :)<br /><br />I have never been to an opera. The one and only bit theatrical sthe performance I have seen was "grease". I need to experience.<br /><br />I would love to go to the opera on friday. I would take my father. For lots of reasons, most importantly I get him to hang out with me away from his wife and 4 yr old about once every few months. This week my dad is becoming a grandpa, thanks to my little brother, and I think he is really going to need some love (it depresses him to face aging).<br /><br />I'll tell a friend to sign up, I'll practice (even tho my neighbors might hate me), and I'll even buy a new dress for the occassion if chosen. :)
