[Leica] IMG: Intermission activity

[Douglas Barry]

Went to the Moscow City Ballet's performance of Swan Lake at the 
Ireland's current largest theatre - The Bord Gais Energy Theatre - on 
Grand Canal Dock in Dublin last Tuesday. The building  was designed by 
Daniel Libeskind and seats over 2,000 people, but size wise is a pale 
shadow of the old Theatre Royal which seated nearly 4,000. Needless to 
say, no photography is allowed during the performance which is a pity as 
the symmetry of the company was mesmerising.

Anyway, here's a shot of the stalls during the intermission with most of 
the audience having bolted to the bar.  Shot with my iPhone 5S - have to 
get a better phone...

Next cultural outing is at the end of the month in a far smaller theatre 
(one tenth of the size) back in my old stamping ground in Bray. I'm 
going to see my old neighbour Francesco Turrisi - a multi genred, multi 
instrumentalist - who's back from the US where he has been involved with 
Rhiannon Giddens over on your side of the pond. He's playing the piano, 
but he does a lot of other things as well.
