So what was the night at the opera like?
Well the theatre in Orihuela dates back to 1907 but was in fact first built in Alicante in 1892. The building is circular so that it can operate as a theatre or circus.
The opera was only on for one night so it was probably a touring company. Of course it didn’t start on time – very little ever does here in Spain and it lasted three hours. Afterwards they all went to the Vai Ven in Bigastro for a coffee so Pamela didn’t get home until 1:30 in the morning.
She said the main arias were good but the rest was a bit dirgy. Sooo glad I didn’t go!
