| La Traviata : 5 of 5 | |

 It's always exciting to see the first opera of the season, since Austin Lyric Opera always seems to start things off right. I have seen La Traviata at least once before (maybe twice), but this production was by far the best. Violetta was captivating, both when singing about the joys of pleasure or when in her last moments of life. Her death scene was amazing - I was completely in shock. When she suddenly seems to recover, I almost believed she would be OK, even though I knew good and well the plot's fateful ending. The sets were magnificent - the opening lighting looked just like early morning in Paris. It was good to see Peter Bay conduct an opera, too - I'm looking forward to the rest of the season!
