First near opera experience
My wife and I got to enjoy Kathleen Battle perform last night at the newly constructed Long center for the performing arts . Wow! This is my first such show and the closest I have been to an Opera in my life.
Kathleen Battle was amazing! she moved with incredible ease from English to German to French to Spanish and finished with English again.
Now that was a Diva worth watching and listening :) nay feasting on. I seriously encourage you guys to check out upcoming shows at the Long center. It looks like Austin is going to be enjoying some great performances. We are excited about Yo-Yo Ma performing here in September.
Thanks to Yobany and Denise for giving us this very special evening.
Btw, if you want to know more about the acoustical design at the Long center, check out this link.
