Friday was date night and my husband earned MAJOR brownie points. I made a pasta salad, we grabbed the chairs and headed to the Redlands Bowl for Madama Butterfly. It was free and outside, but was fun nonetheless. I was worried about how Kevin would do with the opera. I first explained it was like a play and he seemed okay. When I told him the whole thing was sung, he was slower to nod his head. When I told him it was all in Italian, he just stared at me blankly. This was my first opera as well, and was a little nervous as to how well this would go over. We were given the libretto to read the translation from Italian to English. At times it was hard to follow as they sung over each other. I always seem to get a bobber in front of me. You know that guy who leans to the right, so you lean to the left to see around him and two minutes later he leans to the left. All in all, we had a good time. The weather was nice, the food was enjoyable (he bought me some kettle corn), and the company was great. Not bad for a cheap date night.
