ATLANTA OPERA BACKSTAGE TOUR

Posted by on April 12, 2015 in LIVE OPERA

Shawn Rieschl Johnson – the Atlanta Opera Director of Production took us on a backstage tour before the performance.  Because it was a performance day, there was a lot of movement backstage by performers, stagehands, props, even set pieces.
