I’ve actually been to the opera twice in the past few months; once with best pal Fiona who, knowing about my list, brought me tickets to see ‘Tosca’ at the ENO for my birthday. Incidentally I was actually in Tosca as a child (I think about age 12 if I recall correctly), and it is often a go-to for when “two truths and a lie”.
The other time is when I took my mum to the ENO to see ‘It’s a wonderful life’ in operatic form; needless to say, it was not ‘wonderful’, but it was certainly very memorable, and I’m sure we’ll laugh about it for years to come!
