You might want to consider combining these two. I am not particularly fond of opera, but, growing up in Germany, I have seen 20+. By far the most impressive considering the performance and the venue was Verdi's "Aida" in the Arena of Verona. The Arena is a quite large and well-preserved open-air Roman amphitheater from 30 A.D. When I was there nearly 50 years ago, they did not even have microphones and loudspeakers, which were installed in 2011.

I've seen a few in there.  I agree it is a wonderful experience not to be missed.

 

And the colosseum in Verona is much better preserved and complete than the big one in Rome, to boot. Smaller, but more complete and it gives a better impression of how it was.

 

But admittedly, I'm a hardcore opera fan; had season tickets to the National Opera in DC for years.

 

Sat across the aisle from Alan Greenspan and Andrea Mitchell.  LOL

Great lists!

 

I've been fortunate enough to check off a number of the things on your travel list - I'd put the Alaska cruise at the top.

 

No check marks for your sports list - Kentucky Derby and SEC football game are great ones - for the SEC game I'd go with the Florida/Georgia Outdoor Cocktail Party. Ironically I strongly considered the NCAA lacrosse final four last year. Ironic because before last year I had never watched a lacrosse game at any level - but my eldest goes to UMD and the final four wasn't far from home. 

 

"Enjoy every day as if it is my last" - can't think of any better words to live by.

I’d also like to participate on ice with the Sabres at a practice just to feel how fast they really are.

Skated with young NHL players and NHL players post career.

Sort of a shame their skills are not accurately reflected on TV.

For travel, an Alaskan Cruise tour, where one half is on the ship, the other half is on land.

 

Not sure what else would be on my list

Chick with a pierced tongue and, I dunno, maybe see Europe and New Zealand. 

 

I've been with one with a pierced lip, it was, interesting.  And I've been to New Zealand, though Australia was more fun.

Make love to Raquel Welch.

Pitch to Tim McCarver.

Stare down  Bobby Hull on a penalty shot and make the save.

 

Guess it's time for a new list...

Well, technically you still could do the first two.

That's the right way to do Alaska imo. I was fortunate to do a week on land and then the week long cruise. It was great, but even two weeks wasn't long enough. Not sure if I'll ever get to Australia but my guess is it would need to be a minimum of two weeks too.
