It comes from The Opera Company of Brooklyn in a round-robin email this morning.

Slogan: Feel it deep inside, up-close and personal!


	YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE; FEEL IT DEEP INSIDE, UP-CLOSE & PERSONAL! “If you like hearing an opera score live, up close and personal, this is the place. And the repertory is exceptional. The evening was rich in the sensual pleasure of able singers tearing into a score whose justification lies in providing delight.” Click to read the Parterre Box review.

Can’t be a bad ad, since they got your attention. According to the wording it’s a brothel with live Wagner operas, albeit in piano reduction? That’s unique. Is the brothel experience equal opportunity for both sexes?
How much is the parking? Do they offer glutenfree, sulfatfree, oxytocinfree, GMOfree cookies and refreshments?

Yes indeed – the parking, the price of the sandwiches, and nitrate content in food are the main things that bother “serious” opera-goers these days! 😀
