Of course!
However, it's not always possible to hear her live anymore... ;-)

I remember by grandfather sitting in his chair falling asleep every Sunday
afternoon to the New York Metropolitan Opera via shortwave radio and
sponsored by Texaco. Many childhood Sundays were spent that way. Thinking
of what is available today (even via iTunes!) vs live and the shortwave vs
live, we are living large!

But live, even SRO in college, was extra ordinary... Eventually I bought
season tickets (2) and would use them for first dates. If it was a lousy
date, at least you had the opera. My first date with my bride of 25+ years
was one of these. Ended up being "Lady McBeth of Minsk"! I knew she must've
liked me because she went out on a second date after that :-)
