Butterflies and Benylin

The MET in New York are doing a special season ofmatinee performances streamed live in HD to cinemas around the world. Yesterday, after glugging down a hearty measure of Benylin - noone likes a cougher at the opera - I went to see Madama Butterfly at a sell-out showing at the Imax on Charlie Chaplin Walk. Now, I've never been to the opera (I'm not really sure if I have now) but I will definitley be going to more screenings. It was absolutely wonderful if a little uncanny at times: the audience were dressed for a nght at the opera, we also clapped along with the 'real' audience in New York. We definitely all cried along too. Madama Butterfly sang in New York and cinema audiences wept.
I've put a link to the programme if you fancy a shufty.
