Tonight kicked off the 2012-2013 Dallas Opera season with Aida It is set in Ancient Egypt, with a captive Ethiopian princess, Aida, torn between her love for the Egyptian commander Radames and her loyalty to her own father and country. The lovers must fend off the schemes of a fiercely jealous Egyptian princess and decide whether true love trumps honor and duty. I think Caleb was hoping for a few more battle scenes, but the girls enjoyed the beautiful costumes.
Although I'm certainly not a opera aficionado, I do love live theater and appreciate the skills it takes to perform, the voices, the creativity in the costumes, the beautiful sets and the lovely symphonic orchestra. Live theater beats any TV or movie screen. No matter how advanced 3D technology becomes it can't compare to a night at the theater. I love how there is no instrument that can begin to duplicate what the human voice can do, and the myriad of talents God has placed in people.
But be sure to fear the LORD and serve
him faithfully with all your heart;
consider what great things he has done for you.
him faithfully with all your heart;
consider what great things he has done for you.
I Samuel 12:24
