The Opera

We had a pretty low key day. After school work we bought some rolls, sandwich meat and cheese and went to the park. We ate our lunch and then the kids played on the swings, and play structures and drew pictures in the sand.

This evening we went to the opera. The opera theatre was small, but very beautiful with its painted ceiling, gilded box seats, and carvings.

The performance was called “Adriana Lecouvreur”. It was about a man falling in love with Adriana, an actress, and the man’s scorned lover taking her revenge. The girls really enjoyed the performance. I was surprised with how well it kept their attention. Nadim and I also enjoyed the performance but whished the Hungarian subtitles, that were subtly projected onto the top of the stage curtain, were in English. None the less, it was beautiful.
