After going to see Les Miz with my sister earlier this month, I finally did something I've been threatening to do for years and bought a wee pair of antique opera glasses to bring to the theater. (We tend to buy cheaper tickets in the balcony, where you can see the action quite well but not details of expression.) They arrived today and I love them.

They are about 3 1/2 inches wide and are made of brass, leather, and mother of pearl. They work beautifully and extremely pretty to look at. I'm so excited to bring them the next time I go to a show.
