1/18 Vienna

St. Stephen's Cathedral



Opera

I went to Vienna. Today's program was Tristan and Isolde by Wagner.
I'm not familiar with classic. I knew only name. But I wanted to see opera once.The ticket was sold out on internet. I went to State Opera to buy ticket.
I can't find out regular ticket office. So I bought ticket from scalper standing in front of  State Opera. He said he had gallery seat. I bought ticket at 60euro. But I was surprised when I see the ticket. It is 13euro. Scalper bought ticket from regular office at 13euro,and I bought it at 60euro. I made mistake.
But buying and selling has been established. I want to take a rest.

I went to Café Sacher. I ordered Sacher-Torte and Viennese Coffee. It was nice. At night I went to opera. Seats were full. I don't understand German.
When it finished,people said "brabo". I could't understand opera at all.
Next day I went to State Opera to buy another ticket. I find out regular ticket office. It was behind place where scalper standed. My attention had become distracted.
