2007.11.7. Bravo Club event at Columbia Tower Club. Great performance: five young artists sang and acted Trouble in Tahiti, a 1-act opera by Bernstein. A present to his new wife, about a troubled young married couple, named after his parents.
My invitation pronounced food and performance, just as last year. But no food. After half an hour of back and forth between the Seattle Opera organizers and the club staff, 5~6 small trays were sent out. My guests and I waited by the kitchen door, and managed to snatch some bits before they were brought out. Still my promise of dinner came terribly short and we went out to eat afterwards.
