Last Tuesday we went to ....don don don wait for it - 'THE OPERA'. Exciting stuff no? We saw it in Rathmines Swan Cinema and it was streamed from the Met Opera House in New York. The opera we saw was Don Giovanni - Its a story about a man who travels all of Europe 'wooing' women, causing them to fall in love with him , and then he's off travelling again, leaving them heartbroken. After 4 and a half hours of ear shattering music we all stumbled back through the cinema doors, to get onto the bus again! I actaully thought it was really good , I just would have prefered it if it was a bit shorter. It had english subtitles at the bottom of it, so at least we had some clue what was going on! There was an interview halfway through with some of the singers, and one of them said they have been singing that role for the past 8 years which I thought was really cool , so they go around the world , singing that role internationally, and they kind of feel that they own that role which was really interesting! :) I really enjoyed the day :)x
anyway I better be going
Blog you later :)
