#Odesa #Opera opened tonight for the first time since the Russian full-scale invasion on 24 February. It was the most moving performance I have ever been to. Got lucky, no air raid. #SlavaUkraine ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
Verdi, Puccini, Bizet, Ukrainian opera. I will write about the Gala concert for the Ukrainian Army and the theater with bombshells but really want to share a few snippets now.
Half-empty theatre which never happens in Odesa. People standing up for the national anthem. Whispering along.
@EmilienUrbano looking forward to your photos! DM me! Thanks :)
