On Thursday night, my sister and I, went to an outdoor movie performance of The Phantom of the Opera. It’s not quite as exciting as it sounds, it was a recording of a live performance from The Royal Albert Hall in London, but still. I’ve never seen such an enormous movie screen. And it was right beside the lake.
Things didn’t start out very well. The show was to begin at 8 pm, but the people running the projector claimed there was too much daylight so they decided to wait. In the end, they started around twenty past. It was a three hour performance, so by the time it was all over, it was pitch dark out there.
Despite all that, it was an awesome performance. I’d heard the soundtrack before, but I’d never seen the actual show.
Afterwards, it was so dark my sister and I actually took the wrong way and ended up wandering through an empty industrial area.
