| Operatic Society, Sorrento |

Opera Society, Italian style
As we wandered aimlessly around the back streets of Sorrento we happened upon the place you see in the print below. A gated courtyard in very grand style, the plaque on the wall indicated an Operatic Society - perhaps Opera lovers, or singers/actors?
Whatever it was, I got the impression that it wasn't the sort of place tourists would be welcome to just wander into, so I did the decent thing and moved on. Not before getting a couple of shots in, though :) Foma paper, lith.

It looks like a scene from the early twentieth century or perhaps the late eighteenth century. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marcus. It was the sort of setting that made me think, Yes, I could be content here for an hour or two :) I haven't been to Italy that much but every so often there's a scene like this which makes you more than a little in awe of the artists and craftsmen and women there must have been.
DeleteI really love the atmosphere in this shot
ReplyDeleteThanks Roy it kind of seemed a little surreal at the time, truth be told....but I knew it had to be photographed :)
