The Mikado

There are many awesome opportunities to partake in at Luther. I have always known of the sports, classes, J-term study abroad, clubs, and choral activities. But, what I didn't realize is that Luther offers a plethora of CAF sponsored shows.

Tonight's show was an opera entitled "The Mikado." I've never been to an opera before, so I was a little wary of what to expect from the night. I thought it would be five hours of really high-pitched singing that you couldn't understand anyway because it's in another language.

Boy, was I wrong!!!

The opera was in English. The singing was absolutely stunning! It was only three hours. :) And, much to my surprise, it was really comical! The jokes were great (a few Luther references were even dropped, including one about the Whippy Dip!) My roommate, Christy, and I laughed the entire second half!

It was a really nice break from the crazy week (especially the Paideia research papers going on right now!) Once again I'm reminded how awesome it is to be going to Luther! Everyday something proves that it's the perfect fit for me!

I hope all of the Seniors are loving life-and that Senioritis hasn't quite set in yet! (At least make it until Spring Break!)

~Bye y'all!

"The Lord is my sheperd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." ~Psalm 23: 4
