A Night At The Opera

I have always loved classical music.  A night at the Opera.  An orchestral classical concert.

I am a huge fan of the piano.  

When I was a young girl I studied the piano, not very good at it but loved each and every one of my lessons.

 I remember the first time I went to the Opera.

A young woman in my early 20's.

 I wore pretty much the same thing that I wore to the office.

 I quick discovered, things are a little more formal.

 

 Just glad I did not go in my blue jeans.  Although I would have been a lot more comfortable.

 Being a young woman, I did not have many opportunities to attend such formal event as this.

 

 Of course I loved every single minute I was there.  

Lost in the beauty.  

Seduced by the sounds.

 At around the same time I also attended my first ballet, The Nutcracker.

 

 It was fantastic, however as much as I loved it, my passion was for vocal and instrumental music, the symphony.

 

Soloists, choirs.

The piano, strings, right down to bagpipes.

Listen to this piece of heaven....from the movie, Sense and Sensibility.

I have attached a YouTube video of an artist playing it on the piano.

If I could be anywhere on a Saturday night, it would be in a balcony seat.
