As you can see, the weather is not great (seems to have become a pattern for my visits to Europe), but Venice is still Venice. Once you've escaped the deafening noise of the vaporetto that takes you from the airport to the city the most amazing thing about Venice for me always is the total absence of noise (there are no cars), as if the city were floating on the water, suspended in time.
I am here until Monday morning to hear La Traviata twice in two days with two different casts and also hold auditions. Now, I'm off to my first performance.
