Before going to the opera, we went to a really nice restaurant called "Victoria" for dinner. We ordered the set menu, which consisted of a salmon appetizer on a piece of toast (we forgot to take a picture, sorry...). The main course was veal with creamed cauliflower and a red beet chutney (above), with fried potatoes on the side (no picture, again, sorry). For dessert we had a chocolate pudding with fresh whipped cream on top (below).
After dinner we went to the Royal Opera house to see a performance of "Läderlappen" (Die Fledermaus). The performance was all sung in Swedish with no supertitles. It was fun to listen to the music, even if we had a hard time following what little plot there is in this opera. The hall itself is beautiful! It was great to see how many people were there for a Monday night opera- the house was packed! And there was a wider age range of people attending than there seems to be in the states. From the reactions of the audience, the show was really well done and very funny.
Jenae during intermission....
From my seat I could see the basses perfectly, which was fun!
After the opera, we took the train back to our hotel: exhausted, full, and happy!
