Jenufa = Pretty Bloody Fantastic

Tonight I broke the opera drought with an outing to Jenufa at the Washington National Opera with Patricia Racette in the lead.

It was pretty bloody brilliant.

It was also gay night at the opera and there was supposedly a post-show reception of some description but the usher didn't seem to know anything about it so I came home. Which, all this considered, is just as well as I have a 9am Acela to catch as it has been decided I need to spend tomorrow and Saturday morning in New York for work, so hurrah for spontaneous trips to New York!
