Hot in the City

I went to a free opera performance at the Drama Center with X on Friday night. We were there before the start of the performance. However, it didn't start on time because the guest of honor, Mr Mah Bow Tan, was late! I would have closed the door on him since they specifically said that doors closed on time. The performers were mediocre. I guess the highlight of that evening was the conductor was a certain Joseph Tan, who is young and he styled his hair like some Ah Beng.

On Sunday evening, I went to a Flamenco performance at the Esplanade. It was part of the Dains festival. I have always loved watching Flamenco performances. I was trying to recall how many performances I have been to. So far, I can only remember 2. One was in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. It's a beautiful beach near Cancun. The second was in Sante Fe, New Mexico. Both were intimate and good. The one I went just now was a larger-scaled performance and it's not as traditional. I wasn't too impressed though. I doubt I'd remember this one.
