In case you’re thinking, “Opera is not my thing, read what someone wrote to us after her first opera experience last year: “ It was an amazing experience that I cannot put into words. It was not at all what I envisioned “going to the opera” even meant. The set with amazing colours, movement, acrobatics, music, even some nudity, all kept me mesmerized. The singers were out of this world. And the seats were great too. What a treat. Thank you”
