Porgy and Bess

I went to the Metropolitan Opera House this afternoon and saw a wonderful production of "Porgy and Bess."  Well, actually I went with a friend to the movie theater on Washington Center Road, the one that has the big comfy reclining chairs, and watched the live broadcast of the opera from the Met.  I had been to one of these shows before and it is a great way to enjoy an opera.  They showed views of the interior of the opera house before the program started, and, based on what I saw, we definitely had the most comfortable seats.  It was fun watching people in the on-site audience, who evidiently didn't realize they were on camera.  Many were on their phones (before the show started of course) and some were taking selfies.  We also enjoyed seeing behind the scenes interviews with the performers and producers before the show and during the intermission.  Excellent voices, beautiful music and comfy surroundings.  I highly recommend the Met at the movies.
