The rehearsal
Grigoris Valtinos rehearsing his role as the Narrator in Richard Strauss' s melodrama Enoch Arden (op. 38). Kavala, July 2009.
It was the first time I heard this work. It's based on a poem by Alfred Tennyson, who in turn based it on a true story. Thanks to Knut for pointing out that the story itself is a variation on the myth of Ulysses' return.
There's even a law inspired by Enoch Arden in the US - it stipulates that one may be granted a divorce if one's spouse has been missing for more than 7 years.

Late afternoon on the beach
It can get lonely on the beach near sundown - or idyllic, depending on your inclinations.
