Last Friday, I was lucky enough to attend in flesh the epic Don Quixote performance of the Bolshoy Theatre staged at the Wolf Trap Park for Performing Arts. I was literally in the woods. While my comments would be totally devoid of any musical and theatrical wisdom, I would like to note that the scene was spectacular - we were sitting on the grass (we had $18 dollar tickets), behind and well above the $80 seats in the closed area of the gigantic theatre. It was very much like the amphitheatre where I listened to the lovely Debussy tunes. Yet it was much more casual-with lots of people, including ourselves, enjoying the bright lightenings overhead, the thunders of an approaching storm, and right in front of us, the most beautiful performances of all was unfolding. We drank wine, complemented by cheese, and chatted about how our school back in Turkey were-the four of us-Irem (Marmara- Political Science-French) and Haldun (ODTU Insaat).
