(More customer reviews)I took my new Adorama 4 X 30 Hamlet Opera Glass Binoculars, Platinum with Silver Trim to see the Los Angeles Opera perform La Traviata recently. I could have rented glasses from the vendors there, but it was much nicer to have my own, not have to stand in line before or after the opera, and they were wonderful help in seeing the actual expessions on the soloists' faces from where I was sitting in the nosebleed section. Since I'm getting near-sighted in my old age, they were also vital to reading the superscript over the proscenium so I could figure out what on earth was going on. I'm a bit of a cultural boob, and just now, upon retirement, beginning to get into opera, so these are a big help. The last time I went to the opera, I couldn't see the faces of the divas. Of course, I suppose I could buy better seats...My only complaint about these glasses is that they are a bit heavy to keep holding up for a long time. But the pleasure of just using something so beautiful and getting such a great view far outweighed (no pun intended) the slight effort required to hold them up. The opera was OK, but I think I got more pleasure from just owning my new opera glasses. They would make a wonderful gift to a theater- or opera-goer. Believe me, I hinted enough times, but my kids didn't get it. Anyway, I'm now armed and ready for Wagner's Ring Cycle next year!
