I watched the movie Life is Beautiful again for the millionth time. I really love that movie. Roberto Benigni is so brilliantly funny.
Let's see, I'm starting this book called Mother of Pearl; it's a novel set in the South in the twentieth century [not later therein] and I'm hoping it'll be good. I'll let you guys know what I think of it when I'm done reading.
Last night I went to see the play Othello. It was really good; there is just something about Shakepeare that is better when you see it on stage. Then, when reading the play by yourself, it comes to life.
Although with some plays, the characters are already so colorful it doesn't matter [i.e. Cyrano].
And I listened to this opera called Lulu. It's really weird; has a modern theme. The main character, Lulu, is basically symbolic of women's sexuality. She goes throughout, by first with her husband, and then a painter, then a doctor, and then his son. At the end, both die to Jack the Ripper who was one of Lulu's clients (she is forced into prostitution after killing her doctor husband with a revolver and marrying his son). It was a "different" opera. Alright, but different. One of the best prologues, I think.
Ta ta, todos, and have a good day.
