This picture shows me outside the Geneva opera house, wearing the first "little black dress" I've had in many years. This was another major highlight of my trip, something I'd looked forward to ever since Gisela proposed that we go to the opera on the evening I arrived in Geneva. The opera was Verdi's Il Trovatore and while the story is a bit strained (as in many operas) the music was marvelous. When the last scene ended, I immediately thought that I'd love to experience this opera again and see how another director would stage it. Before going to the opera, we had dinner at a French cafe across the street. All in all, it was a perfect way to end a lovely day that included the beautiful train ride from Zurich.
