An opera in Rome for the Neophyte
I will be in Rome for four days in late September. I've never been to an opera. Rome seems like a place I should try one. Can anyone suggest how I can find what's out there, and more importantly, what a neophyte should do?

Tinling, I was wondering the exact same thing. After some reading, I decided on the Marriage of Figaro and will be at the performance the 29th. I got my ticket through www.charta.it, which I found out about at slowtrav.com. If you're interested, you probably want to get right on it. I ordered my ticket way back in March, and even then there weren't a lot of seats left.
Have fun!

You can also buy tickets directly from the opera house (google teatro opera roma for details, the website has an English translation for the ticket section). Then you know there won't be a mark-up.
Le Nozze di Figaro is a good opera to start with; good tunes (several of which you'll recognise even if you're not particularly into classical music), plenty of physical comedy, and, as operas go, a relatively plausible story.
