La Sonnambula

Very grateful of the opportunity presented to go enjoy a fabulous night of Italian opera at the renowned Opera House in Sydney.  It was just the thing to do and "The" place to be in the world for a gloriously beautiful opera night out. 

La Sonnambula (The Sleepwalker) is an opera with a story briefly told: Amina is engaged to Elvino, but one night she is discovered in the bedroom of another man, and Elvino breaks off the marriage plans.  It is then revealed that Amina is a sleepwalker, and had wandered into the forbidden bedroom on one of her nocturnal walks.  The marriage plans are then restored, and they live happily ever after.  

That’s it.  

Straight forward story with some spectacular singing.  Absolutely fab.

God bless Italy.
