My friend, Liz, is an opera singer. This is a snippet of a conversation from this past weekend.

Liz: I’ve been asked to sing in Amahl this Christmas
Krit: In a mall? Like the guy who plays piano at Nordstrom’s?
Krit: Cool!
Lisa: Like Tiffany!
Liz: …
Liz: No, Amahl and the Night Visitors. It’s an opera.
Krit and Lisa: Ooohhh
