Even before entering the venue, I was shocked at how beautiful the architecture was. The fountain gave the venue a sense of fanciness we had not experienced at other Macaulay Events. After walking in, the venue only looked better. The stairs were endless and everything was covered in a beautiful red velvet which gave a sense of elegance. The chandelier dangling in the middle was my favorite part.
However, the steps leading to our seats were very tiny and it felt like I was going to fall. Our seats were located very far from stage which made it hard to see the actors clearly. The seats themselves were very comfortable, but as we learned from experience, only meant for one person. The highlight of the opera house was probably the small screen in front of every seat with the subtitles. They were special because you were only able to see yours from your seat. Thus, other people’s screens were not distracting.
