The rain failed to ruin a beautiful evening at Leauva’a on Wednesday night for the second show of the Opera under the Stars.
After several minutes of heavy drizzle, quick thinking by the organisers saw the event shifted indoors so that the crowd would continue to enjoy the evening.
Many of them had turned up for a second serving of the opera talents on show that included Daphne Collins, Isabella Moore, Taunoa Filimoehala, Juan Kim, Benson Wilson and Derek Wendt.
A spectacular performance by Daphne Collins with the help of local musician and enthusiast, Richard Epa on the guitar of the Samoan love song, Lau Rosa, moved the crowd.
What followed was a fantastic evening for everyone there.
The proceeds from the two nights of Opera Under the Stars will go towards the renovation of the St. Therese Retreat and Resort.
