All my days I will sing this song of gladness, Give my praise to the fountain of delight, For in my helplessness, You heard my cry, And waves of mercy poured down on my life

La Vie Pariesenne...

Cultural-minded as I am, I thought it would be a good idea to explore the world of theater. I've always been a fan of musicals but I'd never been to the opera or operette. Last saturday evening was the night...I saw my first operette; La Vie Pariesenne. It's not an opera or a musical but somewhere in between. The voices are classically trained but singing modern songs. Does that make sense? The performers were amazing. Especially the two leading ladies. WOW! The story was a bit too much of 'Make love, not war' with the empasis on Lets make love... Anywho, it was a great experience. I do think this genre is meant for the elderly people (no offence whatsoever) but I think me and my friend were the youngest people there. Oh well, not every youngster is a cultural-minded as I am...
