Les poissons en France

Is this getting Boring?

Guess what happened last night?  Yes … another concert.  The Festival which is running the art exhibition also held a concert of operatic airs.  The concert was held in the grounds of the Château de Vaillac.  It was well supported but it was touch and go whether we would escape the showers.  Fortunately the last one finished about 15 minutes before the concert started.
 The opening piece was played by the 5 piece orchestra whilst two horsemen rode around on two very nice horses performing dressage.  Slightly curious.
The orchestra was then accompanying two singers who were dressed as if for a warm summer's night.  Unfortunately, after the showers the evening became colder and windy, so much so that at one point the cellist's sheet music blew off his music stand and tried to make an escape.
However, the musicians and the audience bravely saw out the concert.  We decided not to stay for a glass of cold wine in the gathering gloom.
