Christmas at the Sydney Opera House


Last night we went to the Sydney Opera House to enjoy "Christmas at the House." Like most of you, the Sydney Opera House always has been one of those places that I've always wanted to go to. But we figured that it might be prohibitively expensive to see a play. So when we found out about their Christmas production, which cost us only $25 each, we bought tickets immediately. Because the tickets were all the same price, we ended up with some of the best seats in the house. Although we knew that there would be Christmas carols sang, we had no idea that it was a world class, top-notch event, complete with five opera stars. About two-thirds of the way through the production, one of the stars of the show sat down in a chair on stage and read Luke 2 verbatim. It was simply beautiful. The orchestra then began playing "Silent Night." As Susan stated afterward, if we lived here, then this would become an annual Christmas tradition for us.
