I go to the theater 4-5x per year.  Once or twice for touring shows, and a couple or three times for local productions. 

Of course I grew up as a band and drama and choir nerd, so there you have it.

The friend I go with was a drama nerd.  She did sets and such, so she appreciates that in the productions.

There is a theater near us and I think we should go some time, but the titles don't sound very alluring to me.  My wife says she likes ballet a lot, so far I have avoided that.

The symphony here had a concert in the park we attended last night.  They had a reception beforehand that was nice for donors, and then the AYSO played, the Y = Youth, then the ASO.  There were maybe 3,000 people on the lawn.  The most fun thing was seeing a young fellow maybe 4 in front of the orchestra with a stick he picked up mimicking the conductor.  Then maybe ten other young kids showed up and they looked really amazed by it all, they were very well behaved.

I've been to a few "free concerts" like that where some folks are quite annoying making noise and moving about unconcerned for anyone else.  This one was quite good.

The regular season starts Thursday.

I'd rather have my fingernails plucked than go to another symphony or opera. 

To each their own.

My wife and I both like classical music, she plays it all day from this French radio channel she streams.  We have season tickets (which is 6 concerts).

Some of the pieces they perform are not to my liking of course.  The venue in Cincinnati was much much more impressive and had better acoustics.

I enjoy theater (plays/musicals), and could do a symphony. 

No on opera or ballet.

Some of all of this is the experience of "getting out of the house".

I like them all.  Opera in Paris was incredible, opera in Prague pretty great too.  Many French operas include a ballet.

It's a bit terrifying to see people ranking Texas as #1.  Just waiting for the other shoe to drop, and with my luck it'll be against the hated Sooners on Saturday.

Still, it should be a heck of a fun game to watch!  I'll be there for the 34th time in my life, including 31 of the last 34.
