I saw a BBC piece about a guy who's been working here for 40 years and got curious. Remember reading about it but went to Amazon Theatre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia to learn more. Wonder what they present and who attends.
 
Going and seeing the show that would be a wonderful experience between climate, people food it would be a wonderful experience.

Fitzcarraldo is a 1982 West German film written and directed by Werner Herzog and starring Klaus Kinski as the title character.

It portrays would-be rubber baron Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald, a lover of opera and a great fan of Italian tenor Enrico Caruso, he dreams of building an opera house in his hometown of Iquitos, Peru.

The movie is based on the life of Carlos Fermín Fitzcarrald (1862 – 9 July 1897), a Peruvian rubber baron of Irish-American ancestry.

His fellow countrymen just couldn't pronounce his irish surname and called him "Fitzcarraldo".
