phantom was brilliant! costuming and set was great, voices were well cast - surprisingly, the Raoul character had almost a more "manly" voice than Phantom (well, anthony warlow is a tenor at best - this raoul was a really deep tenor :P) and helps that he was Raoul good-looking too ;) orchestra was really good too, tho the percussionist deserved yelling at at times ;) (just had to nit-pick about something... hehe)
amendment: and the whole thing was courtesy of an absolutely amazing boyfriend who got tickets, then drove 4 hours that day, 2 of which were through heavy fog, so we could go see the two men have a calligraphy contest :D did i mention it was opening night too? :D hehe. *what was it i was supposed to have wrote? >.< ... written.*
thought of the night:
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? (Luke 12:25)
(I also like how the alternate footnote translation thing says "or cubit to his height!" (hehe) )
so i am not going to live longer or get taller by worrying. useful verse for studying med i think - makes me paranoid about something suddenly going wrong somehow, but remembering that worrying isn't going to do anything makes me feel better :)
