A Night at the Opera..

Friday evening saw me at the beautiful Royal Albert Hall to watch a performance of Puccini's Madame Butterfly.

This was my first foray into a full scale Opera and I loved it. The opera is performed in the round and is set upon a water garden which is magical. As with most opera's no happy ending but a rollercoaster of emotions throughout.

I went with my friend who out of all us is the most cultured!... we dined in the brasserie before hand which was lovely, it was nice to de-stress from work before the performance started.
A lovely evening... and who knows possibly my next foray into the operatic world will be Verona!
