Go to the opera at least once. Get dressed up with a friend, be chic, enjoy the people watching during intermission, laugh haughtily and bask in the good lighting. I was obsessed with the simplicity of the little black and orange subtitle screens in front of each seat. The crowd is older and sophisticated and judgemental. They were wearing the best clothes. The stage sets are grand and the singing will melt your brain. I don’t know about other cities but The Met has turned me into an opera person now.

I saw The Listeners at the Philadelphia Academy of Music a few weeks ago. It was an extraordinary experience. Opera is great. get dressed up and get some damn culture!
Opera Philadelphia is offering very low cost tickets this season, so I’ll see you at Don Giovanni in the spring.

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
