explaining opera ... in a thunderstorm

After all the excitement of hiding in the conference ballroom, i decided it was time to go for a stroll and see what Chicago has to offer. It's got a fantastic open air concert hall in the form of the Jay Pritzker Pavilion. And while i was there, there was some opera going on.
it was very exciting because there was a real thunderstorm part way through - which
only added to the drama of the performance but it did mean that everyone got rather wet. well apart from me, as i'm small enough to hide under a seat and stayed bone dry!

Afterwards i managed to get some hugs from some music students who
took the time and trouble to explain the intricacies of the opera story to me. it was very
fascinating - and very cuddly!

Thanks guys! I loved the attention!
