The Oslo Opera House in my last post reminds me of a theatre play I saw months ago. The stage was set on a central square in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Though I didn't understand a single word, the performance, lighting, music, costume, set and props were all quite impressive.
Also because I had no idea what they were saying or singing, I could pay attention to other elements and be distracted to take some photos. :) With most other musicals or plays I enjoyed before, I was either too focused to take pictures, or it's not allowed in some theatres. Now I'm glad to sort through these shots and share them with you here.
It was a bit challenging then to shoot these moving figures in distance at night without a tripod. So I placed my camera on top of a fence at one side (kind of a monopod ;)), angled it over the large crowds and shot these scenes in manual.
上次发的歌剧院让我想起几个月前看到的一出舞台剧，是卢布尔雅那市中心广场的露天演出，说唱的应该是本地斯洛文尼亚语，我自然是一句话都没听懂，但能感觉到表演、配乐、灯光、服化道都很出色。也正因为听不懂台词，我就可以开小差拍些照片😄。以前在现场能看懂的那些剧，要么太集中注意力在听而忘记拍照，要么所在场合不允许拍照，这次也总算收获了一些现场表演的纪念。因为夜晚光线很暗，台上演员又在移动，而且前排坐满了观众，距离有些远，所以我把相机支在侧面的围栏上，拍下了这些照片。
