Chris, Charlotte, Mikey, and Garrett go see the
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBk4NYhWNMM">Barbie</a> movie! And though
only one of them grew up playing with Barbie, they all have a terrific time.
(Also they do not go on to see Oppenheimer.)

<a href="https://twitter.com/vandroidhelsing/">Jared</a> and
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/lager_statten/">Jess</a> got to see Drawfee Live in
Seattle! We are all big <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/Drawfee">Drawfee</a> fans here
at The Scene Of The Scene, so we’re very jealous. (Oh, here’s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtoieTFZZA8">the Batman
video</a>.)

We’re… back? We’re back! <a href="https://twitter.com/wordgarbler">Chris</a> and
<a href="https://twitter.com/erlking">Mikey</a> leave the house and go see Tori Amos
in concert. Mikey is a lifelong fan, but this is his first time seeing her!
And this tour is coming off Tori’s strongest album in ages. Hurrah!

We saw the world premiere of
<a href="https://tapestryopera.com/performances/jacqueline/">Jacqueline</a>, an opera
about the tragic life of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqueline_du_Pré">Jacqueline du
Pré</a>. Du Pré was a phenomenal
cellist (see her perform the <a href="https://youtu.be/G5J4eTWj0a0?t=2280">Elgar Cello
Concerto</a> with her husband, Daniel
Barenboim, conducting) who, at the age of 28, was diagnosed with multiple
sclerosis and lost her ability to perform. She passed away in 1987 at the age
of 42.
The opera is unusually intimate, performed by just two people—a soprano
(<a href="https://marniebreckenridge.com">Marnie Breckenridge</a>, who was on a recent
episode of <a href="https://megaphonic.fm/mixtape/44">This Is Your Mixtape</a>) and a
cellist (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Haimovitz">Matt Haimovitz</a>, who
knew du Pré when he was young). It was composed by <a href="https://lunapearlwoolf.com">Luna Pearl
Woolf</a> with libretto by <a href="http://www.roycevavrek.com">Royce
Vavrek</a> and produced by <a href="https://tapestryopera.com">Tapestry
Opera</a> (who also produced last year’s excellent
<a href="https://megaphonic.fm/scene/25">Shawnadithit</a>).
<a href="https://twitter.com/wordgarbler">Chris</a> and
<a href="https://twitter.com/erlking">Michael</a> gushed about the opera immediately
after seeing it.

We didn’t see Gretel &amp; Hansel (the new movie), but we did see the Canadian
Opera Company’s production of Englebert Humperdinck’s <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hansel_and_Gretel_\(opera\)">Hansel and
Gretel</a>. This
production transforms the setting to a modern-day Toronto apartment building,
with surprisingly effective results.
<a href="https://twitter.com/wordgarbler">Chris</a> and
<a href="https://twitter.com/erlking">Michael</a> talked about it just after seeing it,
and kinda want to see this production become A Thing.

The best part of going to a show is hanging out with your friends afterwards and talking about it.
