A Night at the Vienna Opera
I’m a romantic, though I try my best to hide it. Occasionally, I can’t help my own inclinations — like the time I started bawling so uncontrollably during the first 10 minutes of Life of Pi that I had to excuse myself from the theater. The trope of the rich man taking the ingenue to the opera to assess her potential plays out over and over again in film, television, and books; especially if you are at all inclined to romantic plotlines.
