Saturday night opera











I actually had the opportunity to attend an opera last night here in Florence. It was held at St Marks English Church. There were four singers and just a few props. The opera was Verid's La Travita. I cannot express how beautiful their voices were and how the acoustics sounded in the church. It was small and intimate. The actors were only a few feet away. It wasa very special treat for me. I took a few photos, but it was difficult for obvious reasons. However, here are a couple I think turned okay - they are still a little grainy, but it gives you an idea.
