Saturday night in Vienna was the best part of all --a visit to the Opera. I love opera and I've always wanted to see the Vienna State Opera. I searched all over trying to find tickets for one of the nights we would be in Vienna and just the week before we left, I finally found some -- for Eugene Onegin, nonetheless. I love Tchaikovsky and his Eugene Onegin is based on a wonderful Pushkin story. The storyline was meaningful (unlike many operas) and the music was beautiful. Fortunately, we were able to read the subtitles in English. (Even though I speak Russian, trying to understand operatic voices is tough.) It was wonderful to be in a place with so much history!
We took this photo when we stopped near the Opera House while exploring the city.
Inside the concert hall. Okay, so our seats were not quite front row.
The end of the performance.
