Description

The most famous theater in Costa Rica is the Teatro Nacional, built between 1890 and 1897. The story goes that a noted European opera company, featuring the talented singer Adelina Patti, was on a Latin American tour but declined to perform in Costa Rica for lack of a suitable hall. Immediately, the coffee elite put a special cultural tax on coffee exports for the construction of a world-class theater. The Teatro Nacional, in the heart of San Jose, is now the venue for plays, opera, performances by the National Symphony Orchestra, ballet, poetry readings, and other cultural events. It also is an architectural work in its own right and a landmark in any city tour of San Jose. This picture was taken on 6 December 2004, Sig..

Well after taking a photography course where we did a night time field trip to take night photos, I have a new appreciation for this type of shot. Lot harder than it looks, beautiful job.
