v patek 7. brezna mi odpadl trenink capoeiry, ovsem kamarad Oliver (Kolumbie, jak jinak;) nezklamal a prisel se super planem B: totiz navstevou TEATRO MUNICIPAL, tj. divadla (na fotce). Ten vecer vystupovala ORQUESTRA SINFONICA MUNICIPAL, tj. domaci symfonicky orchestr. stacil se k nam pridat jeste Sebastian z Francie, ja jsem si navlikla krasne nove saticky a razili jsme smer centrum. od nas je to nastesti kousek.
studenti maji 50% slevu (tj. zaplatite asi tak 80 kc za listek, coz je fajn, jedna z mala veci, ktere tu nejsou drahe), ale pani na pokladne mela nejaky problem se Sebastianovou prukazkou... zaslechl to jeden mily pan, dirigent ze Svycarska, jak jsme se pozdeji dozvedeli, a venoval nam listky. takze jsme sedeli v lozi, hned vedle rodicu houslistky Bracha Malkin z USA, ktera tu ten vecer hostovala.
Shledli jsme 3 kousky: od Alexandra Borodina, pak Sergei Prokofiev / koncert c. 2 pro housle a orchestr, prave s tou krasnou mladou energickou houslistkou, a nakonec uplne suprova vec: Symfonie c. 5 od Cajkovskeho (toho mam fakt rada, diky hudbe k baletu). Jako bonus mame pozvani na koncert, ktery bude dirigovat prave ten mily Svycar. No a ja si minim zjistit, kdy budou davat nejaky balet a jit omrknout, jak jim to tancovani jde:) at zije Labuti jezero!!!!
On Friday March 7th, my capoeira practice was called off at the last minute but Oliver (from Colombia, surprisingly;) came with a cool Plan B: a visit of TEATRO MUNICIPAL here in SP. (see the picture). That night, it was ORQUESTRA SINFONICA MUNICIPAL, that is the local symphonic orchestra, who was performing. Sebastian from France was fast enough to join us... i put on a beautiful dress and we headed to the city center, which is close by my place:)
Students get some 50 % discount (so you pay some 3 EUR for the ticket, one of the things that is not expensive here...) but the lady at the cashier had problems with Seb's student card... fortunately our conversation with her was overheard by a nice gentleman, a conductor from Switzerland, we learned later on. he offered us free tickets. so we had really good places, we sat next to parents of Bracha Malkin, a violinist from the USA, who was a guest that night.
We heard three pieces: one from Alexander Borodin, then Sergei Prokofiev's Concert number 2 for violin and orchestr, which was performed by the beautiful and energic lady violinist, and last but not least was Symphony number 5 from Tchaikovski (i love his music thanx to ballet). As a bonus we are invited to a concert which will be conducted by the Swiss gentleman. And i want to find out when there is a ballet night... and see how they do here! let live Swan Lake!!!!:)
