Re: Sinner the Winner

What a nerve wracking final,lasting nearly four hours! But he won in the end and he's only 22! A real pleasure to watch. I'm sure he'll be winning many more in the future.
Well done Jannik! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Milan -- La Scala Opera House

On New Years Eve I was treated to a night out by my grandaughter to Milans famous Opera House, La Scala. It was a ballet performance, Coppelia, and was very enjoyable.
