The final bow

Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House, 8th March 2022.

The main cast of Otello together with the conductor take their final bow: Yonghoon Lee (Otello) to the left of the conductor, Andrea Battistoni, with Karah Son (Desdemona) to the right. Marco Vratogna who played a wonderful Iago, is to the left of Yonghoon Lee.

Joan Sutherland Theatre has a capacity of 1600. Because of the Sydney floods and consequent evacuations and road closures, only 600 people were able to get there.

Such a shame that the audience numbers were low but at least they were able to perform.

You captured the grandeur well -- even if it hadn't been a full house.

Nice light and colours, good composition

At the Opera house, understandably, you can only take photos of the final bows, so I was quite pleased with this given the limitations of my camera.
