Graveyards seem to dominate the imagery from operas, explaining why there are so many images of them here. Graveyards set among trees or a beautiful landscape tend to be places of meditation and solace. Others take on a cold and uninviting atmosphere. The character of gravestones changes with each culture, as are evident here. One of the most poetic can be found in the city of Brugge. (Bruges)
