My time earlier that day was spent in the studio, from where Lindsay and I ran home to the penzion to prepare for later that night. Everything was going according to plan until I realized that the only pair of heels that I had brought were suddenly too big and get serious stares from old women in the metro. Some how I made it back to the institute after what seemed like an eternity of painful walking on cobble and changed into my cowboy boots... That is correct, my little black dress with cowboy boots...
So the opera was 3 acts... very long acts, but I did enjoy the singing and the orchestra. I sat with my friend Ben for most of it... apparently he as seen several operas... this was only my first.
The story consisted of a Czech woman who was in love with a man but was destined to marry another... there was a marriage broker, carnies, and a man in a bear suit. Pretty normal for a Czech opera.
I must say that it was an enjoyable experience and the opera house was quite impressive. I do believe I will go to another opera.
