First Film of the Festival

Judy and I wait in line for entry to "The Magic Flute" at the Elgin Wintergarden. We were in the shade at the corner of Yonge, at the end of the block as it went around the corner at Massey Hall. The music was Mozart, the imagery very Kenneth Branagh. He set it at WWI, so it was a little strange. Costumes, staging, unusual camera angles, effects, and singing were fab. Branagh was in Venice, so he sent a video greeting from the Grand Canal.
Three movies tomorrow, so early to bed tonight.
