Salome



This picture says what needs to be said about the opera Salome. Penny and I went to the AZ Opera production and enjoyed it very much. The singing was inspired. John the Baptist was played by Greer Grimsley, who sang Wotan in the Ring last summer. I was glad to have the chance to see him again. Salome was sung by Nancy Gustafson who looked the part. She did a nice job with the dance of the 7 veils. I was reminded during the performance that one of the reasons Tucson feels like home is that it has good opera.



Penny, Larry, and I went on a hike at Sabino Canyon this morning before the opera. We hiked about 8 miles up and back on the paved road. The weather was perfect for a hike.
