old thread I know, but wanted to respond!

FH and I have season tix for the Met, and I've seen alot of operas since we've been together, my fav's have to be:

La Boheme - soooooooooo romantic!
Carmen
Marriage of Figaro - mostly because we got engaged on the balcony of the Met right after that performance!

B'way - I loved Fiddler on the Roof!



hey I am so happy you responded to this b/c I am seriously thinking of taking FH to see Carmen for his bday.

we wanted to buy season tix, but we are going away instead, but I wanted to get atleast one show in. I saw La Boheme last year and loved it, and we both saw the Baz Luhrman on bway, so I thought Carmen would be a good one.

Is Carmen a good choice for a guy that enjoys opera (another thing was the Zeppherelli sets!)

Carmen is an excellent choice for a guy that enjoys opera. I saw it for the first time last fall, and we've been wanting to get my father to Opera and my step-mother thought (as well as us) that this would be a good one. It's a fun opera and most of the music is recongnizable. We're taking my father and stepmother to a matinee performance Thanksgiving weekend (two days after we get back from our honeymoon).

We're seeing Cosi in the spring. We just saw centerella (sp?) It was okay, def, not one of my favs. I saw Aida last fall and loved it. FH and are actually using the Triumphal March from Aida as our entrance song into the reception.

My Favorite Musical is Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I actually found this play to be quite amusing. Wicked and Phantom were up there too. It's hard to put them on the same scale though, they are such different types of plays, but I'll be broad.
