In my yellow dress ready to walk to the Lady Macbeth opera...Russian.


So I think there should be a rule. Don't open your opera with along aria about being bored. It's rather... boring.

As I tend to do, I left at intermission. Three and a half hours of some woman being bored in Russian was too MONUMENTAL of a work for me. My yellow dress and I went and had a drink at a nearby hotel instead.
