A manic Monday turns into an aww-inspiring night...yep, we hit the opera!Could I understand a single word from the entire production?
...nope, considering it was sung in Czech
Could I see the English subtitles from where we were sitting?
...nope, but we could see the entire stage
Was it the most incredible thing my pinoy ears have ever heard?
....Heck yea!
It was purely amazing listening to the vocals coming out of these performers and to top it off, it was held with the world renowned, Sydney Opera House!
Rusalka is a fairy tale from which the Little Mermaid was loosely based on...A water nymph falls in love with the prince and the story goes on. Very classical in that there was not a lot of stage fluff...no elaborate costumes, no interchanging set designs, it was all for the vocals. It was extremely handy to be sitting beside Anastasyia, who is Russian, and could pick out some of the dialog for me! During intermission, it was hilarious to watch everyone in our row reach for the program to read what they had just witnessed on stage! Quite the experience, quite the night!
