Сlassic arias by Verdi, Puccini, Donizetti and Offenbach filled the vast hall with flawless professionalism and striking simplicity — nothing extra, just pure music and voices at the highest level. Despite the size of the venue, the atmosphere felt intimate and almost chamber-like, as if everyone had gathered in one big living room. I shot in near-total darkness, catching fleeting smiles, facial expressions, subtle hand gestures and those moments when emotion takes over. The series turned out rich and intensely alive.
