Frumpy Mom: Why opera is actually not boring. No, it really isn’t.

I recently went to an opera in Vienna, which I mention just so you can be impressed by my extreme culture and breeding. Just kidding, we did go to the opera but we had obstructed view seats due to my extreme cheaposity. This meant that we only saw part of the stage — the part that cost 16 Euros per ticket.

Grand opera can be enormously expensive if you buy tickets that actually allow you to see the people on the stage, but I’ve never done this, due to my incurable belief that cheaper is better.
