Musical Adventure in Seattle

So, I have a few different events that I have been wanting to talk about on here, but just haven't gotten around to it! So here they go! So..first off, Wednesday January 12th, I got to go to Seattle with some of the music students at Oly to see the operaThe Barber of Seville at the Seattle Opera House! It was soooooo amazing! I loved it! The music was incredible and it was more of a comedic opera as oppose to the usual depressing drama operas.
So, the music classes do this thing every year where the music teachers plan a trip to take the first 85 students to sign up up to Seattle to see an opera at the Seattle Opera House. I got to go last year and this year, but it is typically only for upperclassmen. And sidenote, one of the best parts, was that it only cost $20 per student! How awesome is that? So we all take buses up there, we go to a little lecture about the story of the opera, and then we all seperate to go to dinner and after about an hour and a half of free time, we all met back up at the opera house to watch the performance, which in this case, was amazing! The only bad thing about the show itself was that while we got to see the A cast of the show, the lead male singer was sick so the B cast lead male singer stepped in, but he was trying to save his voice for the performance the next night, so we could hardly hear him when the orchestra was playing.
After the show, we didn't get back to Olympia until about 11:30, so that Thursday was hard, but it was worth it! Here are some of the pictures that I got!




The first one is outside of the opera house. The second one, I took of the Space Needle! I am sooooo proud of this picture!!! And the last one my group at dinner. It was such a fun night and I'm excited to get to go next year!
