An Evening of Opera

music is life, and the definition of music is never dull to each of us. we differ in preferences of genre. the range of music is never limited. once you have walked into the fuse of music and life, there is no boundary. yet you keep on walking, at times run like the cheetah sprinting to catch its prey. there are times you grasp, and when you failed, there is no halt. music enables us rejuvenate without giving up. and for this heart to give in, is always because of the beauty that laid in classical music. from period of baroque to now, i idolise the magic that they, the composers have tickled in me.

that was my first and a great beginning. and being able to watch it with them, makes me want more. thank you for a lovely night and for celebrating the joy of music, the beauty of life, together.
