The Thousands

If you, like I, made grand resolutions to become a smarter, healthier, more cultured version of yourself in 09 but have struggled on account of the silly season then focus your bleary peepers on this. Saturday brings the opportunity to immerse oneself in the refined world of opera as Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci hit the Domain. Perhaps best of all, this sojourn into the sophisticated sights and sounds of high culture is free; and that’s cheaper than spending your night in the gutter with a bottle of pop. – JG
