During my last visit, my mother extracted a promise to take her to see Madama Butterfly whenever it happened to come around in Southern California. Of course, I remembered that Madama Butterfly is to be performed at Los Angeles Opera next season, and thankfully only overlaps slightly with Idomeneo in San Francisco. This means I may go to 6 performances at LA Opera, and since San Francisco Opera's season looks slightly dull, I considered getting some sort of LA Opera subscription. However, they are only selling full subscriptions at the moment, though LA Opera's definition of "full" is different than mine and includes 7 and 8 opera packages in addition to all 9 operas.

Oh dear, it’s that horrible Robert Wilson production again! We’re probably not going to use our tickets, so if you’re interested, I might be able to get them for you.
I think I’m only going to go to half of LA’s operas next season. Going to all of them would be better for review-writing, but my nerves can’t take it!LikeLike

Please let me know which operas you are planning on, I’m happy to take some tickets off your hands. Poor mum, she’s not going to like Robert Wilson, I have this feeling. My dad was utterly confused by Parsifal.

I live in SF but have had LA Opera season tix for the past 15 years….row H
near center.
I’m open to selling mini-packages (discounted) as I won’t be able to travel as much this season.
Thanks!
