Balet

So I attended the ballet last night. I got a standing only ticket for €6. The opera house itself is noted for it's decoration and overall impressiveness. The standing only tickets are at the top floor. I had a close look at the paintings on the ceiling, and would have to agree with the hype. The show was great. It was a more modern ballet, with no tutu's. It was music by Hayden.

As an aside, I went to the bathroom before the show commenced. There was, of course, a line. Moments after I entered the bathroom, the lights went out. There was quite the chorus of "Hhhuuh!" and "Ahhhh!" let out by the German ladies.

I flipped the light switch I had just nudged and said "Pardon" with an accent that I hope didn't sound American...
