CULTURAL DISSONANCE

I have been to two completely different cultural experiences at the local cinema during the past 24 hours.

Yesterday it was opera, Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. Three and a half hours of nonsense plot, fantastic arias, and great music, with champagne and cake in the interval. This evening it was Mad Max Fury Road, all nonsense plot, desert, pyrotechnics and relentless action.

I loved both of them.
