...it was quite phenomenal! I took a few pictures and we also happened to notice that one could buy last-minute tickets for only 10 Euro! I told Howard, unfortunately, that I could NEVER sit through an opera without getting a migraine - I was quite sure of that!
We decided to come back the next day and see about getting a tour. Which we did, only to discover that the next tour would be on Saturday, the day after we left the city! Hmmm. What to do? I figured that I was going to have to bite the bullet if we were going to see the inside of this amazing building. So about 15 minutes before the performance was to begin that evening we purchased our 10 Euro tickets to the Opera!
We climbed and climbed to the highest balcony and there we found our seats - and our view!
If we leaned way out we could see about 1/2 the stage! But hey, it was all about the experience and getting to see the inside of the Opera House.
Each seat had a small screen where the words being sung were displayed so it was quite easy to follow the story, even in German!
All in all, it was definitely worth it and we actually enjoyed the whole experience!

I'm proud of you for enduring an opera!! No small feat!!!
Wow! What a building. Is there German for 'nosebleed' seats? I'd have done the same thing. One chance-gotta take it. (Saw Rio's opera house for 1 monetary unit (whatever it was in 1994. Taxi fare to get tickets was more than the ballet tickets.
