Even the highbrow-est of highbrow arts: the opera.
I’m at the newly beautified Queen Elizabeth blogging to you live as part of the Vancouver Opera’s Bloggers at the Opera night alongside Emme Rogers, Gus Digital and John Biehler.
Got a backstage tour of the set for Norma, ripe with weaponry, torches and piles of fake skulls. (Even half an hour before the show everyone back there was calm, cool and collected. So unlike being backstage at the plays we used to perform in theatre class.) Take a look at more backstage photos here.
My necklace? From a street market in Mexico. (Why I did not buy one in every colour, I do not know.)
My dress? Straight out of the 80’s.
My shoes? They’re Betsey Johnson.
The opera? Dramatic. And now a tad more geeky.
