How was the opera?

For those that remember my post just below the post just below. the opera was a resounding success. I measured this in 2 ways. I wanted those who ad no experience of opera not only to enjoy the show but to follow the story, a challenge as it was in Italian. The feedback from this demographic was overwhelmingly positive.

And secondly I wanted the experienced opera goers to have a whale of a time. After the 2nd show a classical music journalist approached me and said how much he enjoyed it, that it was a fantastic first show and my future was bright.

These two pics are before and after shots of the same scene by the way.

So more direction? more opera for me? Only time will tell.
