OWCH members visit the Royal Opera

Anna was in charge of the costumes for the revival of Simon Boccanegra at Covent Garden and asked if any of us wanted to attend the dress rehearsal of this production with Placido Domingo singing the title (baritone) role for the first time.

Those of us who were able to come (Marion, Maggs, Sheila, Barbara, Edith, Rachel, and Barbara Go) enjoyed it thoroughly.

It was magnificently sung and played and we had wonderful centre stalls seats -- ones that none of us could countenance booking for I'm sure.

Anna joined us at the interval and afterwards - out on the terrace where the pictures were taken. It was a truly memorable experience.
