We had a great night at the Atlanta Opera on this beautiful Saturday evening. Romeo and Juliet, the story of love and devotion, a tragic love story! It's been one that I have longed to see, so I have been anxiously waiting for this night to arrive since getting our season tickets last year. It was a great performance and did not disappoint. I was almost brought to tears with the ending scene, which left me with the chills and an ache in my heart for the lovestruck pair, Romeo and Juliet.
Many characters took the stage providing lots of visual interest and the singing was captivating as the story was told through their talented voices, sung in french and backed by the orchestra that added to the full emotion of it all. I am always amazed at the sights and sounds of each opera I've attended. The costumes, the stage sets, all the wonder of what goes into putting each production together. Each one different from the others, and unique in their own way! We always enjoy a wonderful experience attending the Atlanta Opera at the Cobb Energy Center. I love the Opera!
With my opera glasses and tickets in tow, ready and excited to see Romeo and Juliet.

Looking forward to a great opera performance as we enjoy cocktails at the Cobb Energy Center, before taking our seats!
It was a great night at the Opera!...
