Mazzy, I did indeed get to the opera. It was Tosca - set in the Nazi era - blood-soaked and lustful! I got prickles down my legs at E lucevan le stelle and nearly sobbed aloud in the Te Deum scene.

Great that you enjoyed it! I am not a fan of opera personally, but great that you got to enjoy doing something for yourself!!
Thanks Mazzy! I wish the same for you and every person on this site.
