An evening with Madam Butterfly....

I had a lovely evening at The Royal Albert Hall yesterday....a beautiful production of Madam Butterfly.....

Not a particularly good photo, but it is staged in the round and the set was lovely....it was an all round exquisite production. Which of course brought a tear to my eye at the end as it always does.

The tickets were a steal through an offer from Time Out, so my friends and I only paid £37 for £68 tickets in the stalls.  A little bit of a nailbiter as you have to wait and see where the theatre will seat you, but although we were a little bit round to one side, we were in the front row!

I work almost opposite the Royal Albert Hall, so it was a very good location for an evening out, but I didn't get home till quarter to midnight.  The cat was sitting waiting for me with her arms crossed, tapping one foot on the floor and glaring at me as if to say " where the heck have you been....I've been sitting here waiting for hours!" She couldn't wait to get in the bedroom and flop on the bed with me! Then coming to work this morning I felt like I hadn't been home at all!
