Do Something New, Day 49: Spice up the chit-chat with Friml

17 Feb

Tonight I attended my first Friml opera.

It featured one of my friends in the role of a saucy wench who throws herself in front of the man she loves as his enemy lunges at him with a knife. She dies in sacrifice for her beloved, who already has declared his heart belongs to another maiden.

I went to tonight’s performance to show my support for one of my good pals–support for her singing career, sure, but more to the point, support for her involvement in such a shocking love triangle.

Brunch with my friends could use a little spicing up. Hearing about their tales of happy coupledom is great and all, but I like my Tofu Scramble with a side of romantic intrigue and scandal.

Tonight I beamed with pride as my friend showcased her beautiful voice … and made a mental note that blueberry pancakes would go great with this tale of tragic love.

I did something new.
