Night at the Marinsky

A handful of us went to see Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin on Friday, June 15. It is a Russian opera that is fairly well-known. I haven't personally read it though. The opera house is very famous- the Marinsky. I will put up pictures later because I didn't have my camera with me that night. The opera was great, and they had super-titles in English so we could follow it. During the two intermissions, people get champagne or wine and caviar. It was very classy. We went up to check out the Tzar's box also, which is where the Tzar's would sit and watch shows. It had an amazing and perfect view. It is quite expensive to sit up there, we guessed at around 8 to 10 thousand rubles. Maybe even more. The music was my favorite part of the opera. I think everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Pictures soon!
