To the Opera

Tonight I am off to see the opera, Dr. Atomic. I hear it is a tad on the slow side, so I am disappointed I didn't get to nap today. While musically I might not be completely enthralled, I am interested in the historical moment portrayed in Dr. Atomic as well as the potential of the arts to find common ground between often disparate disciplines. Therefore it is fitting I (the wanna-be historian) attend the opera with Christian, a bio-physicist. That way he can attempt to explain all the physics formulas they sing about to me afterward. Really, I hate to admit it, but I am mostly looking forward to dressing up and going out for a refined event in the city.
