The food was wonderful, as usual.

The program was presented by a small opera company here in Sacramento. They've been around several years, but this is the first time I heard about them.  The flyer that was mailed out said they were presenting excerpts form Mozart's Marriage of Figaro,  Instead they presented excerpts from Figaro and two other operas.  One of the others was from The Magic Flute, I can't remember the other one.  There were two sopranos and one bass-baritone.  He was great as Figaro, funny.  

I really enjoy Mozart.  His music makes me feel light-hearted.  There are other composers I like as well, but Mozart has that fun feeling for me.

One of the sopranos was a  little bit of a woman, but she had a strong voice.  The other soprano was a larger woman (not Brunhilde size), and her voice was mellower.  She and the man did a lovely duet from Magic Flute on the joys of a loving marriage.  Beautifully done, and sweet and touching.  The piano accompanist was great!

This particular synagogue presents first class entertainment, always.

I'm still full from the luncheon.   I think dinner will be more of the snack variety.
