The old wooden terraces creaked when the people took seat. The hustle and bustle faded until they became whispers in the dark theatre. That theatre, it was the most important in the city. The bigger all around. But it didn't matter. It wasn't big enough for that actor when he appeared into the scene.
The orchestra and the sopranos were good, but he was the only one who was a true star. Anyway, it has to be hard to work with such a professional and not to get nervous, so even if he was the one who shined the most, they all are praiseworthy.
The round of applause lasted at least five minutes. The first time I saw him will be engraved in my mind forever.
