814 St Mary Magdalene, Paddington
It is in an area called Little Venice
The church is Victorian as was built by the architect G E Street. Sir Ninian Comper was commissioned to produce a fitting memorial to Fr. West (the first priest), and created the Chapel of St Sepulchre in the south aisle of the crypt.
And off to Covent Garden....
The opera was Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi it was Mr Quacks first
If you want a synopsis of Rigoletto. Simon Keenlyside as Rigoletto and Aleksandra Kurzak as Gilda were fabulous! They really injected emotion into the performance. Keenlyside was amazing using Rigoletto's crutches....
A good day

The Church was a great find and the crypt chapel was so unexpected... so glad restoration is gonna happen..
and Mr Quacks seemed to enjoy Rigoletto as we did :)
