Thursday is the day to visit a museum in Berlin. Each and every thursday evening from 6 pm to 10 pm, you don't have to pay entrance fee, and there are interesting guided tours. Yesterday one of them was on Egypt and Nofretete, and since I will show a few friends from HC around this famous exhibition next week during Berlin Beach Camp, I felt like learning some facts from a guide. But, alas, I was too tired! At 6:30 pm! Unbelievable.Must have been my constant cold. I went home and straight to bed, and fell asleep at once. That's why I missed to watch the iceland tv crime based on a book I read a few weeks ago, as well.
I had been to the island of the museums before 6:30, though, and had bought a ticket for the opera shown in the Bode museum tonight, at 11 pm. All the other shows of "Apollo and Hyacinth", Mozart's first opera, and a very special performance with Ismael Ivo dancing the Apollo, were sold out long ago. The ticket was almost 50 Euro, but it will be worth every single cent.
Saturday night I'll enjoy another opera, open air and for free: "Manon".
And to top it all there will be lots of special events on the "International day of the museums" on sunday.
Holger had asked me to go to the Poznan meeting this weekend, but what with the cats and these cultural offers in Berlin (and my cold, last but not least), I can't make it. I sent greetings to Radek and Florian and all the others I met last year. We'll meet at BBC anyway. And for now I feel more like enjoying operas than partying. Even though there will be a long night of the museums in Poznan this weekend, too. ;)
