Second vote for another time to go to a Gilbert and Sullivan (opera x musical). If you don't know them do a youtube for Modern Major General's song or Three Little Maids from School. Speaking of opera I have noticed my DS will do almost anything I ask if I sing my request in an operatic sort of voice. Polly

Polly That's funny. My DS use to get DD to do anything if he sang let's do a marching parade. I went with it.

My grandma used to tell me the stories beforehand, I think it helped me to enjoy the performances more. But then I have been to some operas here in the U.S. where they actually have a screen with translated text, so maybe no need to know and talk about the story in advance. I also think so.
