One of the best things about living in Europe is the Arts. I have the privilege to see some of the most beautiful works of art in architecture and theater while living in Prague. When I was home in San Diego, I saw the movie Black Swan and LOVED it (even tho it was terrifyingly creepy). While in the metro, I saw an advertisement for symphony concerts, ballets, and opera's at the Prague State Opera Theater. I had to take advantage of seeing a concert and saw that they were showing Swan Lake! I had to go so, I did. This past Saturday, I went on a hot date with myself to see Swan Lake. I bought my ticket online and with the few available seats left, I chose to sit in a booth. The price was right and I wanted to do a ballet in style. The theater was absolutely incredible. It's too bad America didn't pick up on this trend of extraordinary theaters. When I found my seat I felt like a QUEEN since I was right in front of the orchestra looking down on the stage. When the performance started, I instantly got goosebumps. Not only was it just like Black Swan :) but the dancers were incredible. I have never been to a ballet before and now I am a huge fan. It is best of both worlds, you get to listen to great classical music performed by a symphony while watching some of the most talented ballerina's. I had the best evening and something I will always remember. If you ever travel in Europe in winter, you MUST MUST MUST go see the arts. There is nothing in this world that will ever compare.
