Hello I'm Rich Brown and this is my personal website and blog.

A Night At the Opera with Carmen by Georges Bizet
@HOME. So last night Justin, my Mother and I went to the Opera. We saw Carmen by Georges Bizet at the Tucson Music Center. Yes that's right, Tucson, only because it was playing there this weekend and not again in Phoenix. The weather outside was beautiful and it was quite a lovely drive down to Tucson. We left around 3:30 PM to head down for dinner before the Opera.
Arriving in Tucson right around 5:00 we had made reservations at a fabulous little place called the Cushing Street Restaurant. It is situated in a building that is over 145 years old and full of history. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere was simply gushing with ambiance. Since the Cushing Street Restaurant was across the street from the Tucson Music Center, it quickly filled with show-goers dressed up in their best night out attire. For the event, Justin and I both broke out the tuxedos and my Mother in a very stunning and sophisticated cocktail dress. The old gal dosen't look bad at all for 66, lets just say those Czech girls really know how to hide their age. Needless to say, we were simply glamorous and even received a few nice comments at the restaurant.
As for the Opera, Carmen started promptly at 7:30 and it was fabulous. All the performers, especially the one playing the part of Carmen were amazing. We had very nice seats, about half way back from the Orchestra pit and a little to the left. The total show ran for a little over 3 hours with 2 intermissions of 20 minutes each. I have to say we all enjoyed ourselves very much and had a great evening dressed up and out on the town. Cheers!
Rich, your mom is such a pretty and classy looking lady! And you and Justin clean up very nicely too, I might add. ;) Glad you all had a fabulous time!
