Odeon opens at Pala

This has been a weekend beyond expectations. Though I did catch up on a lot of sleep, some of it throughout the day too on Sunday too, I have to say it has been a weekend of delights.

It started on Friday night with the Vodafone Odeon Theatre Festival Curtain raiser in ITC Sonar at Pala. The show had the likes of Victor Banerjee along with the CEO of Vodafone, Mr Sridhar Rao lighting the lamp to inaugurate the acclaimed Theatre Festival which has become a calendar event in the city and is in its eighth year. That was followed by musical performances by Jeffrey Menezes and his band and the saviour as always Francis Lepcha coming to the rescue at the last moment with his brand of music and also Ananya lending voice to some great tracks like “Don’t cry for me Argentina” from the celebrated “Evita”. The drinks flowed and the people in attendance mingled and besides the discussions on theatre, one topic of conversation that I could overhear in every group huddled around their drinks was the ongoing economic meltdown.
