Project Rameau@Sydney Theater

At Sydney Theater, once again I got to enjoy Richard Tognetti and the ACO, but this time the music did not get the full attention simply because the Dancers from the Sydney Dance Theater really blow my mind and positively 'distracted' my attention from the music to these amazing dancers and their amazing performance matching the music perfect individually, in pairs or the whole group on the stage. Each dancer has a body control, grace, beauty and flexibility that really go beyond your imagination - I find it hard to believe that anything can be better than this!

The amazing storyteller

I have just finished my second Carlos Ruiz Zafon book!  I read his The Shadow of the Wind, beautifully translated into English from Spanish a few years ago, the book made a strong impression, specifically due to the way he use the language but indeed also I loved his characters and their stories:

Actually, I did not expect to read a second book of Carlos Ruiz Zafon as I did not expect anything would be able to match The Shadow of the Wind, but now I have done so; I have just completed The Prisoner of Heaven which turned out to be a continuation of the The Shadow of the Wind and unbelievably but true, it was even more exciting and as lovely as The Shadow of the Wind - thus highly recommendable reading - I almost could not lay it down once I got into his fantastic story from his beloved Barcelona:
