I brought my wide angle lens to Hubbard Hall to capture the sense of intimacy, even during an opera. The orchestra is to the left, just behind the set, an actor was already in place in bed as the audience filed in, we were all about 25 feet from the set at the other end of the hall. Experiencing opera in this way is a completely different experience than I have encountered before, you can get a sense of it from the photo (see story below.)
