Sunday afternoon we went to the Opera, Don Giovanni, Mozart.
The building looks from the outside very much communist: impressive, as if meant for the education of the common people. Inside it looked like a concert hall from before the war, stylish in an old fashioned way, with a lot of nicely carved wood.
Then, the music: phenomenal! Pure and beautiful voices, no hidden microphones, good acoustics, superb play! Chapeau!
I was astonished! I actually wonder if we can still do such performances in the Netherlands, without any technical help to adjust the sounds, and I don't think so! Amazingly good this! And then the beautifully made dresses: superb!
It's cold inside and so everyone wears their wintercoats. There are many children between 6 and 18, well dressed and their hair nicely plaited, that's all very common here! Maybe that's why they start at 16:00?
