An Evening with Figaro

Today we fly to London! Already? Yea. I am going to miss the mountain so much. But I'm excited about seeing our friends in London and all the activities and trips we have planned.

We had a spectacular final evening in California. First we had dinner with Bob at our favorite restaurant, Venus. Sadly Teresa couldn't make it, so it was just the three of us. Wah! But dinner was great and it was nice to be able to say goodbye to Bob for a few weeks.

Then John and I went to Berkeley Repertory Theatre to see "Figaro." It was fabulous. An ingenious production incorporating part of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. They had live music, with excellent musicians and world-class opera singers. They were amazing. The play itself was also very well done, we particularly enjoyed Dominique Serrand.

My opinion of Berkeley Rep has fluctuated over the years. We have seen a few clunkers but we've also seen some excellent productions, including the recent Carrie Fisher performance. I'm putting it back on our radar and will keep an eye on them for future theatre excursions.

Tomorrow: London!
