This is just something fun and is constantly a work in progress. I went through the blog from the beginning to find the things that stood out in my memory. I am only including the things I liked and have trimmed it down to around 10 per year. If you're looking for pans, this isn't the place. I like a lot of stuff, but you will notice that La Boheme only appears twice. The most number of live performances, 24, occurred in 2007, my homeless year.
My goal with opera is simply to fall in love. I prefer new opera performances because I'm not very likely to fall in love with people from the long ago past.
