I moved from Portland, OR to Paris in November 2007. I came without knowing the language or really wanting to live in a big city. Since, I have fallen in love with both. This blog recounts what it is like for me living here on a daily basis.

Opéra Comique
Last night I accompanied Gabriella to the Opéra Comique for a preview presentation of their coming season. A panel of four people talked about the offerings and a pianist and singers performed a few pieces to wet our appetites. The building itself is something to behold. We sat on the third tier looking out over the stage below and at winged angels in front of us. Human sculpted figures hold up different levels of balconies and gold leafed ornate designs flourish amid classical painted scenes from the 18th century. After the event, they hosted us to hors d'oeuvres and wine. It was a nice, short, but very interesting, evening event. Here's their website
