We stayed in Vernazza today and had a quiet time reading, relaxing, doing laundry and going for short walks. This evening we went to an hour long Vernazza Opera Festival concert. These are held twice a week in the Oratorio, or small chapel next to the church.
There was a soprano, tenor and pianist; they performed an assortment of pieces, mainly in Italian, with one in French and one in English.

| Such an unassuming building on the outside, but more interesting inside, with marble floors and painted ceiling fading to show its age |
 |
| At the intermission we stepped outside onto the terrace - the sun had set; you can see the boats in the harbour, the breakwater, and on the right, a few lights from the next town |
 |
| The performers take their bows and receive applause |
 |
| Almost the last to leave, Brad got this shot of the chapel |
