They show such raw emotion in both their facial expressions and their body language. Especially Sarah Lambert. No wonder you love the opera Ron. Another excellent photo.

Great DOF and a fine composition. Only little flaw is the strong shadows for me but you couldn't change these ;-)

So you were able to photograph the performance live while in the audience? And you weren't harassed by theater security? That's pretty awesome!

@Disoriented: I took more than 500 shots during one of the dress rehearsals ... me and two other photographers ... we were moving all over the theater (sitting on the floor, leaning against the stage, hanging over the banister in the balcony) shooting from different angles and so forth ... a lot of fun!
