Before the gala
This is the inside of the Colón theatre. It´s one of the greatest theatres in the world next to the Met, la Scala and the Paris Opera. It fits 3.000 people, 2.700 sitting and 300 standing. Yesterday was very special because I didn´t go to see any of the "classic" things that are presented in this theatre. This week and the next Buenos Aires is host of the International Festival of Independent Film and yesterday in this theatre was screened "The battleship Potemkin" in its new and latest version, restored by the German Film Gesellschaft in Berlin. This film is b&w and silent, so the Colóns academic orchestra played the music that Edmund Meisel composed for it. (By the way: it´s forbidden to take pictures on the inside, so plese don´t tell anyone ;) )

My lips are sealed. .. so you didn't use flash then
Wow, this looks like a great theater. Great that they also have the film festival there. I've only seen a silent film with an orchestra once and it was a great experience!
