Die Fledermaus
The Metro Theatre
Saturday June 6th 2009
When I was out about a while ago I passed the Metro Theatre and saw that that night was the last night for 'Die Fledermaus'. So I decided to go there on the way home. As I always say, I would rather go see something on my own, than miss out just because no-one will go with me. As it turned out, I wasn’t on my own. As I was waiting in the lobby for it to start, in walked a girl I work with! So I sat with her. Very random!
Neither of us had been to an opera before, but as soon as they started playing the overture, I realised that I actually knew some of the songs, but had never realised what they were from. Some I had even heard English versions of so even though they sang in German I knew what was going on.
I actually really enjoyed it, and would definitely go to the opera again, although it was strange trying to read the sub-titles and watch the stage at the same time!
