Un bel di vedremo


The end is in sight (at least for this term), i have two weeks left of lectures and then 2 weeks of placement. This weekend gone I decided to take a break and on Saturday I went to see Madam Butterfly at the Royal Albert Hall. It was beautiful and I found that the plight of cio cio san still manages to move me to tears. The stage was wonderfully done with candles floating out on to the lake as 'night' descended. I was like a little girl eagerly awaiting some wonderful treat as i sat down in my seat and as Un bel di vedremo was sung i had goosebumps on my arms. For a few hours i forgot everything and nothing existed but the story unfolding before me.
