One year ago I saw this video

.
and I wanted to see how this venue looks like when you're actually there. It's smaller than on TV, but still impressive. I saw Le Nozze di Figaro, I might say the best performance of Le Nozze I attended so far. Even better than the one at ROH. The cast was simply amazing. And the Countess (Virginia Tola) delivered a very touching Dove sono.... Not to mention Abdrazakov. Great!
