At the opera

Last Saturday night Rufus was in town, quite in his element, enjoying Washington National Opera‘s return to the renovated Kennedy Center Opera House. Lovely. He’s pictured in the Post with soprano Renée Fleming. Via the Rufus message board, there’s also a nice photo of him getting cozy with the great Plácido Domingo–my favorite of the Three Tenors–who is currently the Opera’s general director, and conductor of its production of Puccini’s Manon Lescaut, which runs in repertory with La Cenerentola (Rossini) through April.
