The Sunday New York Times and my never ending novel/memoir awaits, so this will be brief, but I can’t think of many better ways to end this supremely gorgeous Sunday than to listen to some opera at sunset on the water.

La la la la la la la.

From the official release:

Enjoy Viginia Opera’s cast of La Bohème as they sing popular arias and favorite Broadway melodies under the stars. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets to picnic on the lawn and listen to the beautiful music. Guests may purchase food, soft drinks and adult beverages throughout the evening or may bring their own picnic baskets filled with food and soft drinks.

See, and they even have adult beverages, for you non-milk drinkers out there.

Park opens at 6pm, show starts at 7:15. This link will help you find the park.

I have to admit, I’ve only seen live opera once, at this crumbling old theatre in Sicily. I had no idea what was going on in the show, and I was alone, and all I really know about opera is that it’s supposed to make smart people cry, but when I closed my eyes and the fat lady hit the high notes, MMmmm, something about that felt good deep down.

See you there, land lovers. For those of you have never heard live opera before, who knows? You might just love the crap out of it. But you’ll never know unless you go.
