[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]La Boheme!  I'm a huge Puccini Fan.  I lived in Germany for many years and went to the opera almost every weekend.  When you are a student, you can get in the opera for next to nothing.  I wish it was like that over here.  I miss going to the Opera.  Living in DC, I go only about once or twice a year.  The Kennedy Center is expensive.  [/quote]

Yeah, the KC is way overrated. The arts should not be beyond a middle class income. Opera in particular is ridiculous.  When I lived in France I attended the symphony on a student ticket for less than the price of a movie.  La Boheme is beautiful.[/quote]

It;s true, the Kennedy Center is overrated and overpriced. Thankfully, there are several smaller opera companies in the DC area that offer professional, high-quality productions at a fraction of the price. My favorite is Bel Cantanti in Rockville, but there is also Wolftrap, Victorian Lyric Opera, Virginia Opera, Peabody Opera, the list goes on. Student tickets to these productions are rarely more than $20. The two arts festivals currently going on, Capital Fringe in DC and Artscape in Baltimore, include free or very cheap opera performances. And then of course there is also Met in HD, and Opera in Cinema Series. [/quote]
