event
It was the first time that my nine-year-
old daughter Priscilla went to the opera!
I remember so well getting ready, looking
sharp. She even wanted to wear my perfume.
Hey, why not?! A little makeup, too...and
the black dress with sequins! Off we go,
downtown – a glamorous evening, just the
two of us!
Cinderella
was playing that night,
except this time the real Cinderella was my
nine-year-old Priscilla...
