It is time to revive this Blog. Now that I have a job I can start visiting the Arts once again.
On Saturday 25 May I went to the Four Seasons Centre for The Performing Arts to watch the final performance of Dialogues des Carmélites .
I bought my tickets via T.O.Tix Whilst they were Level 5 and one row from the very back they were fine, in no way too high up. My only complaint was the safety bar that ran along the seats in front. As the seating sloped downwards towards the middle of the row, the bar was in my sight-line. Thankfully there were empty seats nearby so I moved 3-4 seats along and the bar was out of the way.
The opera itself was very good, very few props but lots of people. The story was simple, nuns during the French Revolution being forced to abandon their faith, they stand true to their beliefs and are killed for it. The final scene, as they fall, one by one, to the sound of the guillotines blade was very chilling.
So for the cost of $25 I had a very satisfying first trip to the Opera.
