FIELD TRIP!!!
we're going to see Macbeth at the metropolitan opera on saturday, january 5 at 8 pm. tickets are $45 and we have to move fast to get them. the opera is in three acts, and will be about 3 hours total time (with intermissions) that will make this a late night. we'll meet at the high school and take the train into manhattan, and then meet up back at the high school. if you are interested, you need to get money to me by thanksgiving break.....these things sell out fast.
juniors read this play in english class, so this will help with that as well.
operas are a formal thing, so if you have questions, ask me in school.
let me know.
