Photographer unfriendly

If they'd been deliberately trying to make it hard to take photos, they couldn't have done better. Two spotlights trained on walls to either side, and the stage in darkness. I cranked up the ISO, took half a dozen photos, and gave up.

In case you can't see, this is a flute quartet. The brochure claimed their programme was original, but it was about as unadventurous as you can get. Fauré's Pavane. Va Pensiero from Aida. The Nutcracker.. A couple of arias from Carmen. One of Satie's Gymnopédies. And so on, all pieces I've known since I was a child. So it wasn't that interesting, but it was short too. And it's quite rare to get classical music as part of the Estivales, so brownie points for that.
