What fascinates you about opera?

I'm fascinated about opera because it makes us feel emotion. One man or women wrote music on a piece of paper and… the magic happened.

Are you currently learning something new?

I think we learn something new every day! That's what we humans do! Life would be boring without!

Attend a Party or Host a Party?

Host a party of course! My husband and I love hosting a party and we often do themed parties.
