Open Air Cinema: "Singing in the Rain"
On Thursday night, York Minster appeared like a giant with a big square belly against the dark sky (giant tele-tubby again?? Sorry for my weird obsession with that children's TV program). Owing to an on-going repairment of the stained glass in the Lady chapel, the magnificence of this side of the Minster has been hidden behind layers of scaffolds. It's been a pain for tourists who have traveled such a long way to witness this masterpiece of cathedral architecture.
However, it turned out to be an ideal screen for Open Air Cinema.
It showed "Singing in the Rain" before the audience submerged in the darkeness.
"Singing in the Rain" is a musical made in 1952 in Hollywood. It is about 3 actors who struggle to change their career from silent movie to sound movie. A typical romance of Hollywood.
The theme song, "Singing in the Rain" is not unfamiliar. I suppose it is one of the best-known songs that shape romantic impression of rainy days. Such a joyful oldie.
It is very chilly now in the evening. Summer is departing, and Autumn is sneaking in.
