15.01.2010. Back in Munich, news and EXCLIBUR ROCK OPERA at Olympia Halle

 

ShutterBLAST has spent a month away in France and Finland and as usual we've been quite busy. A few surprises can be seen in the next weeks in print magazines, and we've had some exciting photo sessions as well as live jobs including HIM, Anathema, and others. Today we're slowly trying to sort everything out but here as a prelude to 2010 comes something a little different for once: the Celtic Rock Opera EXCALIBUR. Photos of the super production taken at the Olympia Halle in Munich on the 13th of January 2010 can be seen below.
