"The Flying Dutchman by Wagner: A Powerful Start to the 2024-25 Season" – My first Wagner opera experience was truly unforgettable. The production offered a surprising take, shifting the focus from stormy seas to family dynamics, with an intense portrayal of Senta's story. Impressive set design, atmospheric lighting, and a moving performance by the cast made this opera a strong entry point for Wagner newcomers like myself. Ready for more Wagner!"

A summary of Opera, Ballet and Concerts that I've attended in 2023-24 Season.

An Image for this film: Staring into the night sky, finding the most uneventful, emptiest part, and zooming in until stars, black holes, pulsars, galaxies appear, and the dark energy that works against the gravity between them is felt. Maybe this comes to mind because there is a beautiful scene where Feramarz (the man) repairs the fixtures outside and brings light to Mahin’s* (the woman) garden, to the part that is alive but inaccessible and obscured by night. Moon(s) lit up by the sun.
