We hope avowed elite-arts foe Prime Minister Stephen Harper doesn't find out how two leading Liberals chose to spend their first free evening after a gruelling federal election campaign.
The two top presumptive candidates for the next Liberal leadership spent it at the opera. Yup, spotted last Wednesday night at the Canadian Opera Company's performance of Mozart's Don Giovanni were Bob Rae and his wife, Arlene Perly Rae, and separately, Michael Ignatieff and his wife, Zsuzsanna Zsohar.
Don Giovanni, of course, is a rollicking tale of vengeance and deception.
We encountered an appreciative, but yawning, Mr. Ignatieff afterward, understandable given his recent schedule. And Mr. Rae tells us he “loved it.”
Did they run into each other? “Of course, saw Michael and Susan there,” Mr. Rae BlackBerryed us. “We had a nice chat.”
