One Saturday I went to the LA Opera downtown. I got a top-secret backstage pass, but I had to dress in character to find out the Opera's secrets! |
| I am the Queen! The Queen Of Westport Heights! |
 |
| The props on the stage are moved by pulleys! |
 |
| You can really play dress-up here! |
 |
| I really loved this enormous blue eyeball, its watching you! |
 |
| Check out the cool car! Almost as cool as my red sports car! It has wings, I think it can fly! |
 |
| Here is the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. I love an empty theatre, you can sit anywhere you like! |
 |
| Sometimes they film the opera! Wouldn't it be cool to be the cinematographer? Or even better, the Director! |
 |
| I loved the brilliant chandeliers! |
 |
| This was the stage for the opera, Gianni Schicchi, by the writer Puccini. Its a comic opera with lots of jokes! It's Italian, ciao'. |
 |
| This is the Director of the Opera, the famous tenor, Placido Domingo, talking to all the teachers on that magical Saturday! |
