The Roman Baths Are Transformed For A Night Of Music

BATH, ENGLAND - MAY 25: Opera singers wave flags during the finale of a dress rehersal of Bath Music Festival's operatic extravaganza production of the Battle of Quiberon Bay, a Handel opera, in the historic Roman Baths on May 25, 2009 in Bath, England. The opera, one of the highlights of the Bath Music Festival, is performed using specially constructed jetties around the edges of the Roman built Great Bath and features the figures of La France and Britannia, with chorus, actors and supporting singers re-enacting the plots, plans, spying and skullduggery that led to the Battle of Quiberon Bay, which coincided with Handel's birth, 250 years ago in 1759. The opera runs for two nights and the first performance to the public will be this evening at 8pm. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
