Thank you to Anna Sawyer, who was playing in the Cleveland Women’s orchestra that night, for inviting us.
I had never been to an Opera before so I wasn’t sure if this was something I’d like so I decided to do some research before saying, yes. What I found was that the Opera had a great story line, Highway 1, USA by William Grant Still. It was also going to be in English, a plus! 🤣
After watching some YouTube videos of the same Opera, I was sold and off we went! 😍 We had such a good time!
Afterwards, we headed to dinner at the Tudor Arms Grill with Anna and her mom, Vicky Deans-Sawyer.
PS
An interesting side note about our family. While we were driving home from the Cleveland Opera , my husband, James, reminded my that his dad was an Opera Singer in his younger days!! He even made an album (I sure would love to get my hands on that).
The story goes that he enrolled in college to further his music career. While in his 3rd or 4th year he decided to take some time off to work so he could earn more money for his schooling. During that time his Opera career got cut short when he got drafted into the Army, met his new wife, had two kids and then ended up retiring from the military with 32 yrs of service! Talk about getting sidetracked! 🤣😂
