When was the last time you were reduced to tears? :cry:

You can say why, if you wish.

Did it make you feel better?

March this year, Royal Opera House, Act II of Madam Butterfly - yes for the whole Act!

I am going to see it again, on my Birthday, at Paphos Harbour - I shall be the one wearing a brown paper bag over my head to avoid embarrassment a second time.

Why did I cry? I suppose because I find the sight and sound of opera very moving and just get involved. (Putting 'skin into the game' to use a horrible Amercan expresssion!)

I think it relieves strong emotion.

Yes Opera makes me cry too ... never again! :shock:

Besides, Madame Butterfly just conjures up the scene from Fatal Attraction, when the bunny boiler is repetitively switching the light on and off ..... So un-green, :roll:

since a surge of energy is required to light the bulb in the first place!

I cried a lot when my 6 year old grandson Ben wrapped his arms round my waist in a vice like grip when I had to say goodbye last month. My daughter had to pull him away while he was crying and asking to stay with me.........Oh God, that was very hard.
