Rita's Entry: Wednesday, June 14, 1911
Practiced in a. m. Mrs. S., Tin and I went to hear Aborn English Opera Company give "Thais." Mighty good - especially the "Meditation."
IN RITA'S DAY: The Aborn English Grand Opera Company tried its hand at Broadway in March and April of 1911 with something called The Bohemian Girl (I think). Guess it wasn't too successful, but Meditation from Thais became probably Rita's favorite. You can hear Itzhak Perlman playing it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGd4Rs-O3ws
Judy's Entry: Tuesday, June 14, 2011
Long day. Off to senior center for singing and zumba. Home for lunch and phone call to Bruce. We are still trying to get Aunt Collette's Estate in order. Then grocery shopping. Then went to pick up the repaired screens. Didn't go to thrift store for Pack 'n Play because can't figure out which ones were recalled. Watch a Netflix tonight.
TODAY ON BROADWAY: Spiderman Turn Off the Dark - the most expensive Broadway musical (so far anywat) - finally opens tonight. The critics have been super critical about it. Cables have broken and some actors have been hurt. Still, I'd like to see it. The sets look fabulous.
