Lizbie1 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 It's a lovely theatre and a lovely summery festival. When I went the "bell" to recall everyone milling around outside before curtain up was a brass fanfare from the balcony - the idea borrowed from Bayreuth I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
