Waddles is a great fan of the opera (he counts Lucia di Lammermoor and L’italiana in Algeri amongst his favorites). A regular at Washington National Opera performances, the Opera Ball is one of the highlights of his social calendar. This year he began his evening with dinner at the Colombian Residence; the Ambassador was such a gracious hostess that Colombia has moved up numerous slots on his must-visit list.
Waddles then taxied over to the German Residence, where lots and lots of treats and visual pleasures awaited him. He loved the people dressed up as characters from The Magic Flute, and had fun watching marzipan creations being made. Of course he had more fun trying the different delicacies, including numerous chocolate treats and strudel from the strudel bar.
The highlight of the evening, however, was a performance by Ute Lemper, his favorite German chanteuse.
After the concert Waddles danced the night away, hoping to burn off some of the calories from all of the sweet treats (and to keep himself away from the bubbly). Having fun truly is exhausting!
Sounds like Waddles had a lovely evening!
