A Night at the Opera…
Last night was my first ever trip to the Opera! I went to see Opera Ireland’s production of Madama Butterfly with my girlfriend in the Gaiety Theatre(pictured on the right), Dublin.

The leading lady was especially good and we were able to appreciate some of the great things that opera singers are able to do with their voices. Puts x-factor to shame for sure

We were aware that there were six seats in our box and that we would have to share, little did we know they were going to be so small that we felt uncomfortable sharing such a space with the family that happened to be in there with us!
