For possible free tickets:
don’t know what its called, “that every movement, or singing or music sound seems to control the lights and set movement. The colors of lights obviously depict an emotion from the opera. Exciting! That Mr. Machover wants to have even more of every movement of hands, fingers, legs change something in the overall set. Wow! Love this!
