Moving in Oct 10:Seattle Opera at the Center

What a day!  Walked to my favorite camera store to research my next camera ...lots of activity in still smoky Lake Union.  (extra)  I survived the walk ..on what I learned was the worst air quality EVER recorded in Puget sound!    Then a tour (boots required ) of the almost finished new space attached to the opera house to house all the aspects of Opera as costume, scenic, chorus, tickets, education, rehearsal space....it’s unique, it humongous, it’s light and airy, it’s “green”.  Wow.
A bite to eat, and we still made the preperformance  talk.     Now ..the most American of operas  ...Porgy and Bess... 1935. Gershwin
