A Night at the Opera

To the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden this evening with middle daughter, Jen,  to see their current production of Bizet's Carmen. A tale of passion and death in and around Seville with banging tunes that lose nothing in impact for all their familiarity. The main photo is of the theatre interior  just before curtain up. The extra is of the cast taking several curtain calls after an exhilarating performance. Anna Goryachova was a suitably sultry Carmen in fine voice on a warm summer's evening in London.
