Rome was all I had ever dreamed it could be, from all the history lessons that I had at school and my love of ancient history, Rome never let me down. To walk down an ancient roman street past shop fronts and through archways that had once echo`d to the sound of chariots was electrifying, how could this be surpassed.... well one more thing was in store for a full frontal attack on my senses.....I was offered the chance to see Tosca at the Cara Cala baths ( part of ancient Rome) .............. now it gets hard to find words to describe the emotions, to experience this pinnacle of Puccinis operas in such classic surroundings......my throat was hoarse with so many encores, my hands ached with the clapping. After I felt I could never feel I had been sold short with my life, my cup was definatly overflowing !! |
