During the attack I was actually only several hundreds of metres away from the Bataclan Theatre! I was at Opera Bastille watching La Bayadere's second last dress rehearsal. It was a beautiful show. I was very amazed, not knowing what was happening just next to us......
What a horrible news in Paris! my condolences to those who lost their loved ones. Those who were killed were completely innocent! Do we really have to sacrifice those innocent spirits due to political conflicts? I thought that everything happens for a reason. What about this? Did all those people who lost their lives deserved to leave this world? God bless them. I hope that those who are still alive will be strong and could face this tragedy. Then remember that even though a very big light just turned off in front of them, there are still plenty of other lights around them. The French have been showing their strong solidarity after the attack. However I don't always agree with how they look at this........ During the attack I was actually only several hundreds of metres away from the Bataclan Theatre! I was at Opera Bastille watching La Bayadere's second last dress rehearsal. It was a beautiful show. I was very amazed, not knowing what was happening just next to us...... The Paris Opera was closed this weekend. It reopened on Monday and we did a Generale (last dress rehearsal, like a real show) open to the public. Before the show started, all the members of the paris opera was on the stage of Opera Bastille. After a brief speech by Stephane Lissner, the director of the company, we sang La Marseillaise (French national anthem) together with the audience. It was a touching moment. Even the Palais Garnier changed the lightings to support its country!
