I LOVE Tony's new look … he looks very handsome and ten years younger!
Beautiful and elegant white dress
KJ and Tony, when in France, you should go to Nancy (300 km from Paris) and visit the opera theater on the place Stanislas, which is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I appreciate your honesty about the long opera Tony. Your experience sounds fantastic.❤😊
If you don't like long, wait until if you ever move to France and you will learn what long means
Nicely done, both of you 👏 Very much appreciated. Thank you.😊❤
Thank you so much KJ and Tony 🕊💕🕊
You are both very good looking 💕🤗🌺
When I saw a ballet performance at the Palais Garnier I didn’t know what to look at first, the stage, the ceiling the boxes. It was all so beautiful. Heaven on Earth. Tony bravo! Love the new doo.
Thanks for sharing! 💝
Tony’s new look is so good. Refreshing. This was my best episode so far. Seeing as I love opera , I found this so wonderful. Such a colorful episode Loved it
Must try classical opera. Love Tony's look, he looks European 🙂
So glad to see you back. KJ, your dress 👗 is lovely, and you look smashing! Tony, you look healthier and younger with the "new look". Being unfamiliar with opera, you might want to listen to several a few times. Hearing different artists singing the same role gives you a perspective of the type of voice you like and as such, which operas you might really enjoy in person. As you might guess, l am a lover of opera. Going to an opera at the Palace Garnier is a dream of mine!
I think it was great you tried something you had never done before. Whether you liked it or not isn't the most important part of it. Trying it is!😊
The Phantom of the Opera is a work based on a short story by Gaston Leroux, a very well-known writer in France.
Good for you for giving opera a try! It's not for everybody, and not everybody likes every opera. I love most, but I detest Wagner operas — all those singers going about in horned helmets and the loud, ponderous music — no thank you! Maybe try Bizet's Carmen if you ever go again. Not a particularly happy story, but the music has been used a lot for other things so you probably are already familiar with it. And it's in French! Good info on Garnier — we haven't been there yet because the scheduling has never worked out for operas we want to see. Maybe next time we are in Paris.
Thank you for the beautiful tour as only Paris can present . Your comments helped to enjoy the spectacular building.
KJ is a true French person — her attitude and sensibilities especially. Tony's new clean-cut look is perfect!
🍎 KJ and Tony,
Beautiful, fabulous day! Literally!
Our love of like for opera is actually a zero! We find it quite old fashioned and boring, but if you're going to an Opera performance, then you have to dress like the Opera performers. Women should dress with a beautiful, dark, plain, simple, classy, elegant, long dress with high heel shoes. We think white should only be used in the Summertime since it keeps the body cool and doesn't look elegant any other time of the year. Men should dress with a chic, smart looking vest if they don't want to wear a jacket over the handsome long sleeve shirt with a toe or bowtie. Even more sexier and handsome looking, a cowboy Bowlo tie that my husband uses now and I have donated his ties to charity, because Bowlo ties are a hell lot more sexier and women will also admire him from a distance! What we do love for sitting for hours for entertainment and stepping up the drama, is to entertained by the dancers of the Chippendales! It doesn't have to be Las Vegas, if you look hard enough, you can find them in any entertainment pub. They will even dance for you on a pole and take it even further with a sexy, blingy, g-string bikini just like the girls in Las Vegas at the entertainment shows. It's a much more interesting, appealing, daring, exciting entertainment show to want to dance like the song says, all night long and even sing along with them, especially drinking French cocktails! Must I say, 90% of men or is it 95% love showgirls entertainment. Women are starting to adore and love the Chippendales sexy guys. How exciting!
Au Revoir!

If you only see one opera in your life it should be La Boheme. Most beautiful and memorable music in opera. With an English translation above it. If anything can make you enjoy opera that would be the one. Carmen is a close second.
Who knew an intermission could cause such a kerfuffle! The length is probably more for the performers than for the audience….especially for those singing. They must keep hydrated in order to sing at the highest level and the orchestra needs a bit of time to catch their breath to continue to play at a level worthy of the audience and that the composer intended.
How can i ask you a question about family member status? There is a box that only asks status and gives three options. Stateless and two types of refugee status. Did you leave it blank?
KJ and Tony. Have watched various of your videos on your move to France and the helpful information you provide. My husband and I are in the process of doing the same … to Nice. We have already made an offer on a property in Nice, which was accepted, and have engaged Adrian Leeds (per your suggestion in one of your videos) for assistance with the purchase. The notaire is currently reviewing the documentation, so the deal has yet to be finalized. We are now working on preparing our visas (I know, a little backwards), but, we are not quite sure which address to use on our applications … the address of the property under review by the notaire or Adrian's rental address. Like another of your subscribers, my husband and I are also confused by the "status of the person traveling with you" on the application. They provide for only 3 choices: stateless and 2 types of refugee status. None of those 3 describe either or our "status." If you have any insight on these 2 issues, it would be greatly appreciated. I have not yet seen a video where you reveal exactly where you plan to live, but I wish you all the best on your new chapter in life!
Tony lookin all dapper & sauve! Loving the Tiffany opera front 🩵 I must go there someday. Ty
3 hours is not long for an opera! Wait till they see Götterdämmerung or Parsifal 😂😂😂😂
🍎 KJ and Tony,
Beautiful, gorgeous day! Literally!
First, we like people to be honest and honesty comes in everything when you express yourself. For me, I rather tell people there's a snake or a butterfly on my shoulder than not to say anything so I know I'm in danger or not, which brings us to your great fashion video! Any short or high boots, even if the Royal family wears it with a dress, even if it's a Rhinestone cowgirl boots, it does not look classy, chic, feminine, etc. Dresses only look proper and feminine with high heel shoes or any beautiful height of shoes. We love boots especially when we had all kinds when we were living on our five acre farm and had three horses, etc. Of course when we were tending to our horses, we wore our Rhinestone cowgirl boots! Boots for women looks fabulous if they have the beautiful legs and small knees and their legs are in alignment with their body, then boots looks feminine with a mini shirt or shorts or skinny jeans that goes inside the boots as if though you're getting ready to ride the horses! Some women will wear boots even if they don't have the legs for it. They should know if they do or not! We don't have any dresses that have patterns because too many people wear them and so they look common and are not pretty. If you stand beside someone that has all kinds of patterns and you are wearing patterns, then you will clash like a Christmas tree that has too many ornaments on it! Even in a fashion show, the girls that wear a beautiful color that's satin or lace, will stand out like a queen or princess as you see the style of the beautiful dress without a lot of patterns. For people like you that love dresses that have patterns, then jewelry with the exception of only a pearl earrings, is necessary, because there's too many colors and patterns on the dress. I remember when I visited Denmark, my choice of clothing to travel on the airplane, was a plain velvet shirt to my knees with a high slit on the sides and matching long sleeves blouse and a three inch open toe high heel shoes, not knowing I would of gotten so many stares especially from the pilots and stewardesses! I had to check myself and I didn't see anything out of place! Because of the smile that I saw on their faces, I figured it was all about the simplicity of the outfit. Of course for me, I always admired the way they are dressed. Their attire is always plain, simple and elegant. So Cheers to the handsome pilots and gorgeous, elegant stewardesses.
Bye for now as we have to email another YouTuber!
