Today is lunar new year's August 15, the mid-autumn festival day for full moon viewing. A good friend knowing my love for opera and ballet sent me an e-greeting featuring soprano Lucia Popp's "Song to the Moon" (from Dvořák's opera Rusalka). What a beautiful combination to view the moon while listening to her illuminating voice pouring out the delicate poem from the heart. Adding a pot of light green tea and few moon cakes, I think, would be an ideal poetic setting for moon viewing tonight!
