Why is Avia sad? See photo for a clue.

Sydney, Australia. November 1, 2012

Avia is sad because, in the end, Madam Butterfly kills herself. I’m impressed that all three kids sat through and claim to have enjoyed opera at the the Sydney Opera House. It’s still an iconic building. Photos don’t do it justice. It sits out on a promontory so that it is the central, standout building of Sydney’s harbour. And it is beautiful and proud. It’s made more special by the event of “going to the opera”. The weather is good and it is still light when the opera starts so people gather at the extensive Opera sited restaurants and bars in advance, creating a real buzz and a sense of anticipation.
