La Belle Époque sizzles in Perth.....



On Thursday evening we entered the gates of 'The Pleasure Garden' once more.. oh la! it was a hot night in Perth in more ways than one :) We were there to watch the ladies of  La Belle Epoque perform in the WA Spiegeltent, and as it was a 'no photos' kind of gig you'll have to take my word that it was fabulous, it was nice for a change to relax and enjoy the show. The spiegeltent itself is an amazing venue, you really do get that feeling of stepping into a bygone era... I apologise for the quality of the photos but with lights flashing everywhere inside and out it was tres tricky!
 

Although there were no photos during the show the cast were more than happy to mingle and pose after the show and yes, I was up to my old 'photo-napping' tricks again :)


Walking back to the car after the show it was so good to see the cafes and restaurants around Perth and Northbridge overflowing with people having either just come from or going to a Fringe or Perth Festival event.. February and March may be the hottest months in Perth but there's more than enough going on to take your mind off the weather :) Happy weekend, take care.... p.s. I see a couple of tables free in Positano, meet you there for Fringe next year oui!

  8. This all looks so pretty and joyful to join. Love all this theater and performances. We once had dinner in a Spiegeltent in Amsterdam for my 60th birthday celebration. It was great, the dinner andthe entertainment as well. Acrobats, music, comics, loved it.

  13. What a fab night out, love the photo-napping and that wonderful cafe! Nothing like al fresco dining, wish it were going to be warm enough for that this wkd, but I'll be happy with just some snow meltage:)

  16. Just being in a Spiegeltent makes you think of burlesque style naughtiness.

    Now I wonder what a Balkan Grill is?
