Opera at the movies 7/21 - Puccini's Turandot
If you love opera but have a tight budget - or if you've been curious but not quite ready to make the investment in a live opera - here's a great deal:
Throughout the winter, the Metropolitan Opera (the best!) presents simulcasts in selected theaters. This summer they are presenting reruns - at only $15 a seat.
Tonight is Puccini's Turnadot. Maddy, Sophia and I are going with another mom and daughter. This is one performance only at 6:30 and only at selected theaters nationwide.
Here is everything you need to know:

Director Franco Zeffirelli's breathtaking production of Puccini's last opera is a favorite of the Met repertoire. Maria Guleghina plays the ruthless Chinese princess of the title, whose hatred of men is so strong that she has all suitors who can't solve her riddles beheaded. Marcello Giordani sings Calà f, the unknown prince who eventually wins her love and whose solos include the famous "Nessun dorma."
