,We began today with a trip to the Dallas Winspear Opera House for their production of Romeo and Juliet. It was presented in five acts, in French with English subtitles. This was their 2010-2011 Educational series. Composer Charles-Francois Gounod wrote this opera in 1859, and today it was performed with outstanding orchestra. Because it was part of the educational series, during one interlude they brought the curtains and house lights up so the youth could watch behind the scenes as they made set changes. The opera house was a packed house filled with students from all around the metroplex.

Following the opera, we headed to Cinemark for the new movie Gnomeo & Juliet. It is a spin on Shakespeare's Capulet & Montague feud only they are garden gnomes. The Capulets are the red hatted gnomes and the Montagues are the blue hatted gnomes. It was a cute movie and much only about half as long as the three hour opera! Fortunately the garden gnomes learned to put their grievance aside for the betterment of the neighborhood!
“‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against
anyone among your people, but love your
neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD."
