So pretty I agree the opera is drop dead sad and the duke is a slimy jerk poor Gilda.
However the pic is awsome you just captured something in it!

Marvelous detail! Thank you for giving the operatic background too. I love opera. A good scene, and a very grand interpretation. The soft gray ink decorations give the piece a Renaissance feeling.

I almost copy a renaissance painting for the background. I love opera too, and I was very lucky to be in one of the best presentations of "Rigoletto" that has ever been in my country, two years ago..

Oh, that is so wonderful! I used to get season tickets to the Lyric Opera when I lived in Chicago, not expensive tickets but season tickets. It was so great. Now I'm limited to the broadcasts from the Met or to DVDs. But I still enjoy it, and also recognize most of the classics if I'm listening to classical radio.

Wow, that must had been so great!! I can't go to the opera theater as much as I would like, because of time, and because we have just one opera theater in my city and it is very small, and there is a lot of public, so it is sometimes difficult to get a ticket

It was wonderful. Lawrence doesn't have an opera theatre though, so it's going to be years before I can do that again. Maybe when my grandkids are older and we start going other places on vacation like Chicago -- but my daughter isn't into opera, so I will probably have to go alone once we do go up for vacations. Eh, it'll come back into my life when it does.

Going with your grandkids?? thatt is so lovely!! It is a beautiful idea, and it is a experience that kids never forget!

I know. My grandparents took me to see Barushnikov when I was very small and that stayed with me the rest of my life, also to a number of live theatres and other interesting places. As well as museums. I wore them out always wanting to stay in the dinosaur hall at the Field Museum and then poke through the rest of the paleontology and natural history section...

Yes, those are amazing experiences that stay with you forever. To be a grandparent is something so great..

It is. They continue to amaze me constantly, and also make me laugh. Sascha, three going on four, gave herself a haircut and now has very short-cropped hair with bangs because of it when she'd had shoulder length hair. It'll grow back, but that was funny.

Yep. She is a lovely girl. With very short hair just to her earlobes now, which her mommy did a great job cutting into an attractive shape after she removed great chunks of it from the back of her head with scissors. I thought she was a little young for that, but she did it and it was hilarious!

Oh! (*-*) I love the masks! It reminds me of Carnivale in Venice!!!! ^____^) Awesome work! That Opera story sounds pretty interesting too, everyone is evil! (o.0) I will have to check it out sometime! (^_^) Good work overall too, illustration wise. My only suggestion would be work on the architecture a little, but it is nothing major at all! (^____^)

wow, that is spectacular. your coloring is amazing. i love how you make that one guy that's not wearing his mask stand out with his bright blue shirt and red cape.
your perspective on the architeture (which has incredible detail) is a bit off. try using a vanishing point to direct those lines to.

Thank you so much!! 
You are right about the building behind the people. It looks that way because I copy it from an early renaissance painting (because I really like medieval painting and this one looks so medieval), in a time in which perspective wasn´t invented yet.
I take a lot of images in my drawings from paintings

i love the wet paper color blending! I think it is the strongest feature in this drawing, and your choices of color are unusual and intuitive! I love the face of the on the right.
The placement of the figures is excellent and portrays somewhat of a friendship.

as always, your background is what catches me the most, i really do wish i could live in a world painted by the lovely Eugenia. But the masks caught my eye almost as much in this one, they are really beautiful. (p.s. i'm really sorry i haven't gotten that poem to you yet, i just sort of want it to be JUST right, and it just hasn't come out yet, but i feel it floating in here somewhere, i just have to keep writing till the right one comes out.)

Hello Justin!!
Thank you so much for your kind words.. And don´t worry about the poem, I know you will be able to write it.. Just wait for it to come to you!!

I'm not gonna repeat what has been said about the perspective and it appears just like a detail compared to the characters on the foreground.
They are smashing, graceful and as usual, the colours are amazing (clothes, sky, ...), I love them !
Great job miss, a very nice canvas

Bueno, como dijo JPC la perspectiva está bastante así allá que te va (podrías haberte hecho una caballera que por lo menos se entendía mejor y quedaba más renacentista), pero bueno.
Otra cosa es que los ropajes, parece que les quieres dar contraste y definición, cambian mucho los colores, hay muchos tonos, pero no pareces definirlos, parece que tienen más que togas espumas alrededor de sus cuerpos. No sé cómo se arreglaría eso, si con línea o cómo (pero supongo que es difícil con técnica húmeda)
Fondos preciosos como siempre, composición bastante buena. Y.... ¿quien está tras el hábito marrón?
Por cierto, ya sabes que aunque te saque los defectos, me gustan mucho tus sinfonías de color y líneas arqueadas.

Muchas gracias!!
En cuanto a la perspectiva, eso de atrás es copiado de un cuadro renacentista. Me gustó como quedaba, a medio camino entre el remacimiento y la pintura medieval, que me gusta mucho.
En todo caso es bueno escuchar de tí, estabas un poco desaparecido.

Pero como ya habrás visto, he subido más cosas hoy, a ver si hay alguna que te guste.

Hermosa composición.
Como siempre, tus colores están increibles.
Me gustaron los detalles de los pilares y el arco.
Muy bueno.

Muchas gracias.. respecto al edificio de atrás, no tengo ningún mérito, lo saqué (en realidad; copié) de una pintura renacentista. Se le llama "homenaje" en otros medios...

El nunca bien ponderado "TRIBUTO".
Jejeje. Igual está bien, siempre es bueno homenajear.

Exacto. Sobre todo si saca de apuros..
