Eccentric…Bizarre…Imaginative…Odd…Visionary…Weird…Narcissistic…Genius…Insane….Avant-garde…Flamboyant These are some of the words that have been used to describe the Spanish artist, Salvador Dali.

On my recent trip to Spain, I made a special trip from Girona down to Barcelona to attend a production of Madama Butterfly at the Gran Teatre Liceu, as I continue my growing love affair with opera. (And opera houses!). This opera house, located on the famous La Rambla in...
