In an e-mail I had mentioned that I would be in Athens this week and asked if anything operatic was on the books. Not only was Rossini's L'Italiana in Algeri (The Italian Girl in Algiers) premiering Friday night but the great Greek Mezzo Agnes Baltsa would be singing the lead role of Isabella. And a friend of his had two extra tickets and if we would be interested..... Would we! Damn right!
I'll likely post a review later in the week - too much to see here to spend time in the hotel room blogging - but it was a great evening, spent with great people. And that would be Miss Baltsa taking a moment to pose with a fan at the opening night reception. Thanks Parsi for including us in a wonderful evening. And remember Rome, Muti, Otello, December!

Sounds like you're having a wonderful time. I can't wait to hear about the opera. Thank Parsi for the explanations of the signs, though it was fun making things up.
Such a nice-looking couple! Almost as nice as the one with the coffee and pistacchio gelati...
