Really looking forward to Mozart's opera "The Marriage of Figaro" (Le nozze di Figaro) at the Metropolitan Opera in Ny City this Saturday 10/25. The opera, in 4 acts, was composed in 1786 by Mozart, with an Italian libretto written by Lorenzo Da Ponte.

The 35-foot-by 17-foot back garden has paved decking. “I have had some great parties here yet the house also feels like home,” Ms. Snelson said. “Not too big and empty when it’s just me.
