A Night at the Opera
Today is the start of the 2012 Festival dei 2 Mondi (Festival of the Two Worlds), the 55th festival. There's lots of art and cultural activities and shows on here over the next 2 weeks. Unfortunately we are only able to attend one event because we're leaving tomorrow, so we've been to see Benjamin Britten's Turn of the Screw at the Teatro Nuovo . This is a beautiful opera theatre with very ornate decorations. There were some celebrities attending tonight because it's the opening event. We enjoyed the performance although the story is a bit dark and intense and is based on the novel by Henry James. The music was typical Britten.
