This weeks' visiotrs left today & I need time to recover.
The highlight of our week was going to La Fenice Opera House for a performance of Gounod's opera Romeo & Juliet. It was a very modern setting, the stage was a giant record turntable. The arm was the balcony! The whole thing - stage, costumes & music was amazing. We had a central box in the second tier & we all agreed we had never had such a good seat anywhere.
Tuesday was the last day of carnival & we went to a "sensation" - senses being the theme this year. It was completly black & we were lead through by a blind person who used his voice to help guide us and point us in the direction of the various textures & objects to touch & identify.
At one point Jennifer had her hand in a guys pocket. But we really enjoyed the experience. We then walked through St Mark's Square which was packed & still people were posing in costume.
I am going to put this weeks photos on my computer & I am sure there will be more to add.
