"Badger Girl Goes to the Opera" is a must-read three-part series. Part 1 covers her preparations for attendance, Part 2 takes you backstage with her on the Don Giovanni tour, and Part 3 gets you a seat in the audience as she recaps the performance.

You can still check out Tweets from the final dress, but here are hilarious, almost minute-by-minute annotated and aggregated Tweets from an opera newbie.
Mikko Utevsky: Guest blogging for The Well-Tempered Ear, found the final dress performance "irresistibly seductive", "sexy, dark, gorgeous, musically compelling, and brilliantly sung".
Mary Ellen Spoerke:
"Don Giovanni – Seduction, Deception, No Redemption" is a short and sweet overview of the opera, and some of the finer points of staging one (such as the importance of vodka backstage).
