Tuesday nights in Perugia have not ceased to be eventful so far. Literally, every Tuesday, whether planned or not, something awesome happens. This Tuesday?
THE OPERA.
Three of my friends and I bought last-minute, 16 euro tickets to the Opera "Madame Butterfly" at the Morlacchi Theatre of Perugia, which is right by our school in Perugia. It was all in Italian, we had horrible seats, but the singing was amazing. I could not possibly have had a better first-opera experience. The building was built in the 1700s, so the theatre is SO old and SO intricately decorated with beautiful architecture and frescoes all over the walls and ceilings. It was 3 and a half hours long, but I enjoyed every minute, whether I was watching (by LEANING out of my box all the way, otherwise all I could see was a lamp) or just sitting back, listening, and enjoying the beauty of my surroundings.
Luckily, we ran into one of the administrators from our school who has a REALLY nice camera, so we got some shots of us in our box in the theatre. Hopefully you can see a little glimpse of just how beautiful this building is.
