The opera on Friday was great! It was The Marriage of Figaro, a "sequel" to Rossini's The Barber of Seville. Mozart had such a wonderful sense of humor; I think it disarms a lot of people nowadays who go to the opera and expect it to be a bunch of haughty melodrama (only mediocre opera is that stuff). The GR Opera only puts on 2 performances each of 3 operas per year, but they bring in good talent to do it, and it's a very good price for the quality.
We have really good seats too! Thankfully the Opera allows us to keep our seats from year to year if we keep buying season tickets (which we will for the 2008-2009 season as well thanks to a gift from my parents).
