Mommio: Blog Of The Day

Last night we went to see the dress rehearsal of Mozart's opera- The Magic Flute- at the Long Center in Austin.  We had an amazing experience and now you need to tell us all about it.  Describe the night in detail- talk about the the orchestra, the setting, the costume, the singers, the story, the crowd, our seats and any other details you found interesting.  Tell us what you liked and didn't like and whether or not it was what you thought the opera would be.
