2016 Resolution: see one stage show every month
This post is a bit late, but the visit to see a stage show was not. My first show for 2016 was also my first time watching an opera. Sitting high up on the third balcony I enjoyed The Makropulos Affair at the Gothenburg Opera. The opera was performed in its original language, Czech, but they actually had subtitles so that you could understand what they were singing about.
The story was interesting, but I found it hard to connect to what I saw on stage. The beginning was a bit confusing and they also had stage-workers present and singing on the stage which threw me off a little. It is also a bit disconnecting when you have to read subtitles and don't understand the words that are sung. But even though these difficulties I must say that it was a pleasant experience and very beautiful. I would definitely go and see an opera again.
