After a lovely sunny day strolling around Schöneberg (I bought 5 kg of asparagus at Winterfeldt market!), early in the evening I went downtown to Bebelplatz, the square between opera house and university, to see "Manon" - open air and for free. More than 20 000 Berliners had the same idea, bringing foldable chairs, blankets, sandwiches and champagne for a picknick at the opera. Whilst those who had been lucky (and rich) enough to get tickts for this last show, we others enjoyed the public viewing, the warm evening and the music. We even took over the streets in front of the screen! Unter den Linden had to be closed for the traffic! Ahhhhh, they should do it more often than only the promised once a year, it was fun and an "opera for everybody" for sure.
Next time I'll bring a chair as well, I could hardly sit after five hours. I'm the one quite in the middle and in front, by the way, with red curly hair. ;)
