Last Saturday we took the metro down to Nationals Stadium and met some friends there for "Opera in the Outfield." The Washington National Opera did a live broadcast of their opening night performance at the Kennedy Center of "The Barber of Seville." For free. We got to sit right on the baseball field and enjoy a picnic and some "pre-show" festivities and then watch the opera. (Well, maybe half the opera. That's about all I had the energy for with the girls.) We love D.C.
They started the performance with the National Anthem to benefit all of us at the stadium. The great thing about watching opera on a screen is the subtitles. You can actually figure out what's going on.
Amelia spent most of her time dancing. Did you know you can dance to the opera? Check out the video below to see her interpretation. Elsa loved wandering around and charming (or perhaps annoying) those around us. The only thing missing was Ben. Two weeks down...
Amelia dancing with her friend Miriam.
I love the video of Amelia dancing, especially the slow dance with Miriam. Cute girls!
ReplyDeleteI really think Amelia has a future in modern dance. She's quite good at interpretive dance.
ReplyDeleteAmelia was definitely leading in the partner routine.
