Muffy's dad gives her tickets to the opera, and she worries about whether she'll understand what's going on—or even be able to stay awake. But opera singer Rodney Gilfry shows her how much fun Bizet's ''Carmen'' can be. | Muffy's dad gives her tickets to the opera, and she worries about whether she'll understand what's going on—or even be able to stay awake.

The episode begins in an art gallery where [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] discusses how the world can sometimes appear to be divided into the interests of adults and the interests of children. He reminisces about such an experience when he saw a movie with his parents, with [[Jane Read|his mom]] and [[David Read|dad]] discussing how the film was "wonderful"; Arthur on the other hand does not understand this as he remembers the film being about "two people who never even meet". Arthur then gives another example using art as he looks up into an abstract painting. As he begins to tell the audience how he doesn't know any child who would appreciate this type of art, [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] interrupts him as she appreciates the painting. Arthur asks her if she can honestly say that she likes it, and she agrees that she doesn't really; however, she immediately states that she wants to like it as [[Ed Crosswire|her father]] owns six of the paintings by the artist in question. Ed Crosswire immediately walks into view with the artist in tow and tells Muffy how great the painting will look in her room, which she agrees with halfheartedly. | The episode begins in an art gallery where [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] discusses how the world can sometimes appear to be divided into the interests of adults and the interests of children.

At breakfast in the Crosswire household, Muffy excitedly finds tickets on her plate, which she assumes to be for the "Tween Dream" concert. While thanking her father, he replies that they are actually for the opening night of an opera in which he hopes she will enjoy just as much. The opera in question is ''[[Wikipedia:Carmen|Carmen]]'' by {{W|Georges Bizet}}, which happens to be one of her father's favorites; [[Millicent Crosswire|her mother]] also seems excited by the opera, especially by the prospect of hearing [[Rodney Gilfry]], but is disappointed as she has a charity auction to attend. Since her mother is unable to go, Muffy will go to the opera in her place. She then hints slyly that she'll need something to wear, which her parents agree with. | |||
Muffy is then seen dress shopping with [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] and [[Prunella Deegan|Prunella]]. Prunella tells her that opera is nothing more than "people in silly costumes singing in a language you don't even understand." Muffy then replies, indicating that Prunella is not sophisticated enough to appreciate the experience. While Muffy tries on dresses, Prunella recounts her experience at an opera, which she found boring, tiresome, and long; Prunella then says she doubts that Muffy will even make it through the overture. Muffy comes out wearing a white dress, and Francine comments by saying that she resembles a rice pudding. | Muffy is then seen dress shopping with [[Francine Frensky|Francine]] and [[Prunella Deegan|Prunella]].
