Arco-Íris Reloaded
Carmen
Posted by Arco-Íris (Leiria, Portugal) on 13 December 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.
Carmen is a French opéra comique by Georges Bizet. The libretto is by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy, based on the novella of the same title by Prosper Mérimée, first published in 1845, itself influenced by the narrative poem "The Gypsies" (1824) by Pushkin. Mérimée had read the poem in Russian by 1840 and translated it into French in 1852.

Excellent lighting, colors and composition. I find it interesting that they allow photography in the theater. Some places here do not.

Very difficult to take pictures in those light conditions, but you did a perfect job! The light and the colors are beautiful.

Uma das minhas músicas de ópera preferidas. ;-)
Boa harmonia cénica e tonalidades.
Qualquer dia ainda vais presa por andares a fotografar espectáculos. :-)

@Remus: Seria uma oportunidade única para fotografar o interior de estabelecimentos prisionais e a vida que decorre lá dentro. :)

I like the framing, the heads of the spectators plunge us with you in the room of opera. The light is very well controlled, and the panoramic format is excellent to embrace the scene completely Bravo ;)

Está fantástica Ana, fiquei maravilhada a ver esta cena perante o teu olhar, uma peça que eu gosto bastante, embora nunca tive oportunidade de a ver toda.

Vi as três fotos da peça e esta é de longe a melhor. As cabeças notam-se pouco (ao contrário das outras) e a luz e a harmonia da imagem estão excelentes.
De facto, concordo com o Remus, não sei como é que te safas tão bem a tirar fotos nestes espectáculos, principalmente com o som do obturador da máquina a fazer-se sentir.

@Gonçalo Almeida: Ao início safava-me melhor, agora é mais difícil, mas :) vale a pena. "Tudo vale a pena quando a alma não é pequena."
