We sat before the performance in front of big windows looking out over the dark Vltava River, drinking a glass of Bohemian sparkling wine, surrounded by gilt and rich painted ceilings. This morning, walking over to Charles University to talk to Klara Kolinska’s Canadian Studies class, John took this photograph of the theatre.

I’m loving your desciptions and your pictures! Thank you so much!
So beautiful. And what a wonderfully evocative scene you paint of your night at the opera. Thanks to you both for sharing this lovely moment with us.
I wish I had a photograph of the stage curtain to post! Green and gold, echoing the opening of the opera, where Elizabeth is compared to green leaves and roses…
