On Friday, Uma attended her first show. It was a short opera piece at UT called La Curandera that my friend Lisa was in. Uma was excited and a little overwhelmed. Even though I explained to her what would happen beforehand, she was a little scared when the house lights dimmed and the orchestra began playing. She relaxed when the singers came on the stage and was thrilled when Lisa made her entrance. Lisa played a jealous fiancee, and Uma started to get upset when she thought Lisa was really angry. My assurances that Lisa and the other singers were just pretending calmed her down, though, and she seemed to enjoy the rest of the show.
