Red Riding Hood at the Opera

Last year we went with friends to see a production of Cinderella. This year, they were presenting Little Red Riding Hood and we all decided to go together again. Marina chose to wear a simple black dress – then she added a red cape from one of her Red Riding Hood costumes.

We met our friends at their house and we all drove together. We arrived at the theater early. When we walked in we found Santa sitting inside with no line. .

We had a bit of a wait until we could sit, so Marina and I browsed a table with souvenirs. Marina fell in love with a wolf hat that had long paw gloves attached. I knew she’d probably wear it all the time, so I got one for her. She wore it all day.

Our seats were right up front so we got a good look at the stage. It had flowers and artificial grass where we could see. It was fun to look at. The opera started a bit late, but it was a really fun one. It was an abridged version, so it was only about 45 minutes long and we all enjoyed it.

After the opera was a question and answer period. Marina answered a question correctly and won a t-shirt. The cast were in the lobby for photo so we took some. But we didn’t see the actor playing the wolf. We found him inside the theater and talked with him for a few minutes. He was very nice. We stopped for ice cream after the show before driving home.
