so i went to the hungarian opera on my first night of spring break. not knowing what to expect, this is what i witnessed that i found somewhat surprising....
1. a lot of people fall on stage. by accident. not part of the show. it's really embarrassing. this could be b/c they had the most dangerous stage ever. it was a grid w/o a floor. who thought that was a good idea?
2. maybe going to a 3 hour play sung entirely in hungarian while running on no sleep and exhausted/jet lagged was not the best idea.
3. people dress in traditional hungarian clothing. i do not know why.
4. people also dress like trash. this is confusing as they must have paid over 22000 for their box seat (like 100 euros).
5. a lot of people that you wouldn't think would understand english actually are fluent and can understand you.
6. the oboists are drama queens and like to show up within the final 5 minutes before the show starts even though everyone else in the pit has been there for a good hour
Here are the photos relating to revelations 6, 4, 3, and 1
