STAR-SPRINKLED
To historic Syon Park last night to see Carmen, performed by an enchanting opera company called Diva. Diva is a chamber opera - their only musical accompaniment is a grand piano, played exquisitely by Anna Tilbrook. With passionate voices and raw emotion soaring up to the glass ceiling - opera doesn't get much better than this.
Here I am, feeling inspired by the whirling shawls of Carmen, Frasquita and Mercedes!
And here is the incredible conservatory, where the opera is held and where afterwards we ate from upmarket picnic-hampers in air scented by jasmine, while the night sky darkened and became star-sprinkled.
It was one of those magical evenings.....
Ooh, smashing frock, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteLots of love,

What a gorgeous place! (Lightbulbs going off in the back of my head, now...)
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with Rach about the frock ;o) I've always envied your effortless glamour!
Thanks so much, Rach and Kate - and don't compliments always lift you?
ReplyDeleteActually, it's an old dress, but because it's Armani (bought after good royalty cheque!) - it always makes me feel glam!
Darling - lei usura così bene.
