Opera (on the cheap)

Well, Robert does not really know about opera. He's been only twice and finds it rather relaxing (if not attention-grabbing). 

Anyway, there are  a few opportunities to check out some opera this summer without breaking the bank. (Err, it's already been smashed to pieces.)

First, at the Lark Theater in Larkspur (and elsewhere I believe), we have  Live at the Met Summer Opera Encores, where we can see opera on a large screen on a Saturday morning.  Sounds good. No kids.

Second, we have opera in golden gate park.  The Pierce family will almost certainly attend this year.  With kids.
