Best cocktail hat to wear to the opera

What hat to wear to the opera

I recently went to see Rigoletto 
on opening night
at Opera Saratoga in Saratoga Springs, NY.



Ellen Christine hat, BCBG dress

I met my new friend Heather from Opera Saratoga
before the performance began.
She spreads the word about the Opera on Twitter 
and recognized me from my tweets!




I felt very stylish and beautiful 
in my Ellen Christine hat. 
Having a handsome escort in a tuxedo 
made me feel even better! 

The opera is a passionate experience. 
The human voice is so beautiful. 


My favorite parts were 
when several characters were singing at once. 
I felt carried away by the opportunity 
to experience the characters' different emotions
 together at the same time. 

At times I felt almost overwhelmed by emotion. 
I cried a little at the end and felt so happy 
to be able to show the singers my appreciation 
with applause. 

The opera truly captured my heart. 
I will be back for more! 

Here is a video 
of one of the most recognizable songs from Rigoletto,
sung by Luciano Pavarotti:



I told Arun he should start humming this song 
the next time I try to butter him up to get my way...

Have you been to the opera?
