Virginia Opera Tickets

Another intermission? Count 'em, one, two, three. Long intermissions broke up the flow of the opera and I felt like I was more at a fund raiser. People standing in the their seats during intermissions, mingling, drinking, socializing. Seemed to be a lot of emphasis placed on drinking. Allowing patrons to bring drinks into the theater now gave it a football game atmosphere. All in all, I never felt as if I had a true opera experience with all the distractions. The sets were wonderful, but maybe not worth the time to change them out. I've been to this opera before which utilized sets on circle turn arounds. Sets are nice in the opera, but hearing the music and passion of the story is more important to me.
