Look at all my trials and tribulations

Sinking in a gentle pool of (checks label) crème brûlée craft cream liquor. After all, why not? Why not get rush tickets for Orfeo ed Euridice at the Canadian Uproars Co.'s Saturday matinee? Or even just order a ticket? Well, because rush seats are SRO at the back thus perfect for walker users. But if I can see where the seats are, might buy a full price one even with blocked sightlines. I know I've been at the Four Seasons Centre at least once-- s-i-l's partner flaked on her for I forget what opera a good eighteen years ago and she took me, so I know the acoustics are better than the quondem O'Keefe's. And if I'm to be chained to a walker for the rest of my life, it's time I learned to work around it.

Otherwise did little bursts of housework today so a couple of foot-dragging things got done, so go me, I suppose.

Ditto--the visit I remember most vividly was in 1999, for The Golden Ass (Randolph Peters, libretto by Robertson Davies), which was a unique, astonishing, bravura work of music and magic. I cannot fathom why this unique Canadian opera has never been and (according to Ludwig-Van) never will be heard again.Some critics of the time described it as "accessible," which may have been the kiss of death.

Regardless, I say go for Orfeo ed Euridice, whether you choose rush or assigned seating. After all, why not? :)

Of course there's the little detail that a friend's mother's funeral is at exactly the time that tickets go on sale. Well, we shall see.
