My first time ever at Opera Garnier in Paris last Sunday turned out to be one of the most profound musical and emotional experiences I ever had. Eugene Onegin by Tjajkovskij conducted by Semyon Bychkov with staging by Ralph Fiennes, unbelievable soloists Boris Pinkhasovich, Ruzan Mantashyan and Bogdan Volkov. As a critic wrote:\u201d you go out from the performance and find yourself transformed\u201d. The house itself was as incredible as I could ever had imagined, interesting fact that the green marble in the lower sections of the great staircase was imported directly from Sweden. Also the bell that announced the start of the performance was not any ordinary small buzzer but a real church bell \u2013 at least that\u2019s what it sounded like!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Min f\u00f6rsta g\u00e5ng n\u00e5gonsin p\u00e5 Opera Garnier i Paris f\u00f6rra s\u00f6ndagen visade sig vara en av den st\u00f6rsta och djupaste musikaliska och k\u00e4nslom\u00e4ssiga upplevelsen jag n\u00e5gonsin haft. Eugen Onegin av Tjajkovskij dirigerad av Semyon Bychkov med iscens\u00e4ttning av Ralph Fiennes, samt helt otroliga solister Boris Pinkhasovich, Ruzan Mantashyan och Bogdan Volkov. Som en kritiker skrev: “man g\u00e5r ut fr\u00e5n f\u00f6rest\u00e4llningen och finner sig sj\u00e4lv f\u00f6rvandlad”. Sj\u00e4lva huset var ocks\u00e5 precis s\u00e5 magiskt som jag n\u00e5gonsin kunnat f\u00f6rest\u00e4lla mig. Intressant fakta \u00e4r att den gr\u00f6na marmorn i de nedre delarna av den stora trappan importerades direkt fr\u00e5n Sverige. Dessutom var klockan som tillk\u00e4nnagav f\u00f6rest\u00e4llningens b\u00f6rjan inte n\u00e5gon vanlig liten ringklocka utan h\u00e4r slog en riktig kyrkklocka dova slag som \u00e5terklingade genom hela byggnaden! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
