Once I finally finished work that felt like it dragged on for hours upon hours I rushed home to get changed - I only had 2 hours to get from North Sydney to Eastern Suburbs to inner city to pick up J and then get to the Opera House!
Wore: Gianni Versace black skirt with Versace Courture top, gold Rudolph Menidiur shoes, antique green stoned chocker necklace. Black pashmina to protect me from the cool spring night air (I did catch myself ask if it was ok to wear Gianni Versace with Versace Couture?)
"You are the dream I wish to dream forever"
Words i myself long to hear...
La Boheme as the critics say "Puccini's heart-rending opera is electrifying! Updated for our times, this major new production of Puccini's masterpiece promises to be the opera event in 2005."
The production was so different to any other opera i had ever seen, I salute the production manager for modernising the opera - overdue. Productions such as this will keep us youngin's interested in the arts...
"Only fools love with tears"
Saturday night at the Opera. What an excuse to dress up, well that's what J and I thought, as well as most of the more mature attendee's.
Spotted: Green thongs! Jeans! Un-iron T-shirt! Sneakers! A couple of beach going outfits!
Unbelievable! How very inappropriate!
After La Boheme we went to Opera Bar - this is to be the venue for my Birthday Party! Very sexy crowd, quite a few people from the opera.
I ordered a cocktail "Candy Apple" it sounded fantastic, shame the bar tender didn't hear me very well over the loud music, he said "I can't read lips" WOW! Where did the concept of service go...? Went to the "cocktail making" section of the bar to pick up my drink, "nice, but not worth $15"
J took a seat in the courtyard and as usual observed the crowd, one of my ultimate things to do... We always thought Opera Bar would be our venue for our party, but, decided to go for a walk around Circular Quay to scope a couple of other venues.
We were getting a little peckish by this time and ended up at pancakes at the rocks. We went halves in the ultimate pancake (yep, dressed in our "going to the opera" outfit.
We left pancakes and calling it a night, the eve of the footy grand final saw 100's of cars with Tiger flags and Eye of the Tiger playing! I love Sydney!
