Cairo Opera House


Went to Cairo Opera House lastnite for from ballet....and for 75 L.E and good seat i think it was good 2 hrs spent!

What made us go....:D well at 1st i thot they were showing the full Swan Lake recital so when i called up to asked about the tix, apparently its a combination of 4 ballet recital Bolero,Zorba,Carmen and Swan Lake. I have never heard if Zorba before so i was quite curious...all i know its some greek dance.

As always...the cairo traffic was unpredictable we arrived 15 mins late on meshary bat mobile, the opera house is a beautiful place to be at nite, the lightings and everything else makes it looks very grande. So we got there...ran to the hall...yes 3 ladies was running heels...and none tripped kekeke not bad kan??

The 1st show was the Bolero...we missed the earlier part and we managed to see the best part of it!



the swan lake was abit dissapointing for me...1st the the dancers was in what seems to be like a belly dancer costume, was expecting them to be wearing those frilly skirts u know...but they were good dancers..i was just expecting a bit too much :D but th carmen was really good and intense just as it should be! bravo




the last recital and also the longest was the 'Zorba the Greek'. I think we all enjoyed it the most. It was a very energetic ballet with a good story, abit of sadness and happiness. I must say the soloist was great...thumbs up!!!
After hearing zorba...i realise i have heard it before just never knew whats its called :D.




watching ballet makes me wish i did ballet...kekekeke...abit too late now i guess...well maybe i should try on bubbles..hehehe..mangsa ibu bapa..:P
