Greetings from snowy Dresden!



I am having a great time and even though I have been in Germany a couple of days now I have yet to have any sausage and potato!!! lol
It has been snowing quite regularly and is freezing cold.



This is the Dresden Semperoper where I saw an opera called Rusalka last night. It was very interesting, in that I have never been to an opera before where people booed! lol It was a pretty radical and raunchy interpretation and a number of people walked out before the last act having booed the cast at the end of the second act.

I thought it was fantastic but understood when the lady next to me decided, on advice from the usher, that the last act would be a bit too violent and raunchy for children. The Dresden Opera has a reputation for pushing the boundaries. I loved it! lol I can't wait to see what they do with Carmen tomorrow night. The pic is of the Opera Theatre.

  1. oh how fun! Dresden. I'm writing a story about this place. It apparently has colder winters than the German average. Glad to see you're holidays have been fun!
