This was my first time attending the Opera, so I had little idea of what to expect, or if I'd even enjoy it at all! However, as soon as the curtain went up, and the singing began, I was filled with childlike wonder and awe.
I never imagined Opera could be so much fun, and would rate The Barber of Seville as Number 1.
The costumes, the cast, the music, the scenery were all wonderful - a treat for the eyes and the ears!
If you are planning to venture into the world of Opera for the first time, then make The Barber of Seville your first choice. You will not be disappointed.
I have attended the Ballet, and Musicals for years, and am now pleased to add Opera to my list of passions.
