For the first time in my life I actually won something! I clicked on an ad on washingtonpost.com to register for free tickets from the Washington Opera. I divulged a little personal information and received the following email about a week later.

Heh. They’re both okay operas — La Boheme is the original slacker drama. It’s about a starving poet and painter. Plus, you’ll recognize some of the music from old Warner Brothers cartoons.
Lucia is a little stuffier, and not as original — two feuding families, but one is really losing the battle. In order to help their odds, this member from the losing family tries to form an alliance with a third family by forcing his sister to marry into that family.
Have fun!
