Evening at the opera

Took a friend at the opera : Verdi's Rigoletto. Beautiful music and lovely voices. I had some remarks on the scenic part. Stéphane Braunschweig put coffins throughout the scenic action. I can imagine his ideas behind it, but for Verdi's music I find it a bit dark. All by all a good evening and 6 out of 10 points.

Evening in Longueville

A friend took me with him to visit a lady who makes sculptures. She lives in a little house with beside it a working room almost as big as her house, the whole surrounded by a beautiful garden. In the garden naturally her art-works. She was working on a series of wigwams in lost-wax-method-bronze (really superb). And also she was making a textile of woven paper that she is going to inlay into long wooden pieces. I love the way she lives, lonely in her house.
