Woman #1 (building enthusiasm) Oh, and we saw “Arabella” at Santa Fe last night!
Woman #2 How was it?
Woman #1 Arabella is gorgeous! There we were, outside, with the mountains all around us, we looked at the stage – and it was Vienna! The music was just ravishing . . .
Woman #2 Oh, I love Strauss at Santa Fe . . . last year we saw “Daphne” . . .
Woman #1 Well, Janice Watson is just fabulous AGAIN, the costumes and people and sets are so beautiful . . .
Narrator The pleasures of the Santa Fe Opera . . . no other in the world is like it.
Woman #2 Everything this summer is great – I loved “Traviata” and “Cosi;” and I’m dying to see the world premiere of “Ashoka.”
Woman #1 I always cry at “Traviata.” And this is the last year for the Old Theatre.
