Last Friday, one of my employee gave me a treat and arrange for 2 tickets for a perfomance in the Zurich Opera House. It is my first time being an audience in the Opera House and to sit in that beautiful hall arrayed with beautiful wall paintings and golden angles on every side.
I did made a tour of the Opera Haus many years ago to see tour around the backstage and the whole backset and rehersal rooms. It was such a fun tour venturing into a world of stories and scripts.
After a hard week at work, I went home and to get ready for the renowned perfomance call AIDA. AIDA is usually perform in open arena like in Verona, Italy on a late summer evening, where the air is cool and the sun just setting on the horizon. It has been my hidden desire to one day travel to Verona and be an audience of such live perfomance of ancient romans stories. Stories of heros and war, love and death and many more intrigues.
God has heard my heart's desire and has granted me a great seat at the Zurich Opera.
Aida is sung so all those opera singers was in top form, they sung their words in Italien and we had a small scroll screen on top of the stage to translate into German. The whole perfomance lasted 3 and half hours. The backdrop was breathtaking and I could only share to you the pictures but it do not do justice to the atmosphere and beauty in this hall.
It was like I walked into a surreal world and was captured and embraced by the stories sung live on stage. It is such a memorable experience.
