I love the opera. I mean, I’m no expert or anything, but for me there’s nothing that brings together so many different art forms in one single experience. You may have seen my mini gushing episode on Instagram a few weeks back – lots of all caps and exclamation points. Eventually I’ll do a post on why everyone should give opera a try because I really think everyone should see one at least once.
A friend and I went to see Tosca at the San Francisco Opera as a birthday present for ourselves, both of us being November babies. Let me tell you, if you want an intro to classic, tragic (although not ironically so) opera, Tosca is a great one. It’s a Puccini and is super melodic, very intense, and stunningly beautiful. It is actually quite funny at times. You KNOW I love a chance to dress up, and I took full advantage of this one.
Please forgive how grainy the photos are; iPhone photography and nighttime don’t mix too well!
Dress: Tibi | Shoes: Zara | Belt: Nordstrom Rack
I went with a Tibi knit midi dress in metallic ruby red, my fave Zara heels, a chain belt I bought at the Rack, and huge sparkly earrings that look like I stole them from the Vatican.
Are you an opera fan? What do you like most?
love,
Stig.
