What are the speakers trying to decide?

M I noticed the New York City Ballet is doing a performance of Swan Lake. Do you think that would be nice to take the Japanese to while they’re in New York?
W That’s a good idea. I know that Mr. Kobayashi likes classical music. He probably likes ballet as well. What do you think about taking him to the opera?
M I don’t know what’s happening at the opera, but won’t opera tickets be expensive?
W Good point. I’d personally prefer the ballet anyway. I’ll have Jacqui see if she can get us some tickets.
