"Wisconsin-Happy Festival State", by Eve Phillips. My husband and I love to travel in the state of Wisconsin where we live and get great pictures on the way. My name is Laurie Kutil and photography has become a great passion of mine since 2010. One thing I have learned in researching each town before visiting it is that, "Every town has it's story". When I do uncover those stories by connecting with local residents, our experience becomes so much richer. In turn, sharing the stories with you brings me joy :)
Madison Summer Concerts – 14th Annual Opera in the Park
The show began at 8, we arrived by 5 because we knew even then a lot of people come to this. We did get a good spot just off-center. The lawn and hill behind us looked like this just before the show.
It’s time!
Here is the program. click to enlarge.
The Madison Opera also provided a Guide on their website giving more details about the music and give you a chance to listen to the music they played. Before the show they were selling light sticks, and you will soon see why.
After intermission is has become quite dark outside. You can see people’s light sticks begin to dot the hillside with light. The moon is photobombing the scene too, contributing its own light.
And now the finale, “It’s a Grand Night for Singing” (State Fair) with full audience participation!
Wow! What an exciting evening with 16,000 other enthusiasts of Madison’s fine art scene. We hope to come back next year, it will be on July 23, 2016. This will be their big 15th Anniversary celebration.
