The reason for the trip was that Ogier are sponsors of the Choregies d&#8217;Orange. Last night, as their guests, Fiona and I attended a performance of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.choregies.asso.fr\/gb\/date1.html\">Tosca at the Roman theatre in Orange<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/P1020925.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-935\" title=\"P1020925\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/P1020925.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/P1020925.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/P1020925-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/P1020925-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/P1020925-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It was a spectacular setting: 8000 people in a Roman theatre, watching some serious opera. For the first act, the theatre was like a furnace. 40 C temperatures had warmed up the stone seating during the day, and the stone then duly gave up the heat after sunset &#8211; it was like an oven. But this didn&#8217;t detract from the drama and magic of the performance.<\/p>\n<p>We crashed the post-show party and ended up leaving at 0130. A fabulous evening.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/P1020931.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-936\" title=\"P1020931\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/P1020931.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/P1020931.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/P1020931-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/P1020931-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.wineanorak.com:\/wineblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/P1020931-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just back from a few days staying in Avignon, as guest of Chateauneuf producer Ogier.
