Ryan goes to the Opera

Tonight is wednesday night, which means normally I would go curling. However tonight I went to an Italian Opera instead. Yes an Opera entirely in Italian in Denmark, what a concept. I figured since it was free and I knew people going I would give it a shot since I have never been to one before. It was cool, besides the fact I could not understand what they were saying. It was in this giant factory turned arts center and the show traveled from room to room with the views following along. Luckily I went with my buddy Sandro from Catania Italy so I had a translator. However he was having trouble doing so because they were singing opera so it was not straight Italian and he said they were making lots of mistakes so it was not until the third act that he understood what they were saying. However based on the acting I could understand mostly what was happening and when I found out the actual story I was more or less correct which was exciting. It is actually a rather famous opera called "Rigoletto" by a composer named Verdi. Conveniently I had my bike so the 4km trip to the theater was very fast and easy and perhaps if given the opportunity I would go again. It is nice how many free events there are here. For instance last night was a quarter finals hockey match for a European tournament at the Gigantium in Aalborg which is about 2km away from me. I would have gone but the woman I bought my bike from was dropping it off during the first period so I reluctantly had to stay because I could not pass up the opportunity for free delivery especially because she lives 17km from me... Which would be a long bus ride there and bike ride back. Unfortunately I was in a rush tonight and forgot to grab my camera so I have no pictures but Sandro brought his so if they come out okay I may post one or two pictures  later.
