We went to an opera called "Christmass Eve". It is a story written buy a Ukranian man long ago. Here there is much respect for composers and writters of the past. There is a statu of the writter of this story only a block from our hotel.
After going to petergof, our goal was to get back to the hotel and get dressed up nice to see the show. Well, of course, life is always an adventure. We missed our stop, and took the bus to far, and had to walk about a mile to Petergof. We lost a lot of time doing this. We were the very very last people to go through the musium. They were clossing the doors behind us and turning lights off after we finished with each room. The gaurd left us alone in the queens ballroom, and we danced.
As for the show, we got there just in time. We did not get to stop at the hotel, we did not get to dress up. We arived at the wrong theater just at the time the show was starting, so we had to run to the correct theatoer, it is the same company and just a block down the street. We arived they took our coats, and the show didn't start for another 10 minits. They were more late then us, so it worked out very well.
The production value was fantastic.
The show started with the narator coming out from behind and starting the storry some. He had a bottle of some kind of drink and asked it anyone would like to drink with him, and a few did. It looked like ether wisky or apple juce. Here are a few pictures from the show, and yes, No camears allowed...
