Verdi's La Traviata at Movenpick Bida'a on 22nd April

Started late which almost had my dubious husband ready to run. The weather whipped up some very annoying wind that interfered with the acoustics :O( The waves were crashing loudly, which normally I would love the sound of but that night it got more irritating by the minute. The canapes were scarce and not impressive. The performers were good but sadly the unpredictable weather of April was a formidable enemy.
I hope European Chamber Opera will return one day and perform in the new opera house that is scheduled to be built.

    Yes it was truly disappointing! Moreover, they could have done a better job at lining people up for entering the performance area. It was hard to enjoy the social period prior to the show because we had to stand in line for at least 20 minutes prior which turned out to be worthless. When the door opened, people rushed from all sides to get in, cutting in front of those of us who had been waiting in line! The stage was not high enough so if you were so unlucky to be sitting behind someone taller than you, it was hard to see the performance.
