verdi at roh

coming back to rainy london has some bright moments as well.

for instance, when a good friend has an extra ticket for the royal opera house to see verdi's "masqued ball".

i'm not going to go on about it as i'm not a true expert. i can only say that i truly enjoyed it. especially the last act that had a really interesting scenery with mirrors tricking our vision and creating a true sense of what a masqued ball should be.
