What a campy evening!

Berlin's Komische Oper has been awarded best opera house of Germany, and "Kiss me, Kate" by Cole Porter is the best musical of the early area (actually, the later area doesn't count, really, it's way too commercial to be good). And parties at the opera house are famous, as well.
So what if all these three components come together in one hot summer night in Berlin? A campy evening!
I was lucky to get to know about this special evening at the end of this opera season, and to book one of the very last tickets. Three weeks ago.
Dressed up nicely with my dear old light olive green dress from Conil, Spain, and matching newly bought summer shoes, I arrived a bit early, to find everybody was already there, with champagne, wine, or water waiting for the musical to start. Didn't take me long to find out, all these drinks were for free!
All evening, during the breaks, drinks and food from huge buffets were offered for free, and a band was playing good summer jazz to top it.
The play was all I had read and heard about it: great, lively, fun, great actors and singers, good musicians. How often will opera houses do musicals? Komische Oper does, and so well!
We all enjoyed every second. I walked home late at night, still filled with all those great songs in my head.
P.S. You wonder what on earth "campy" might be? I didn't know until I read about it in the opera bulletin. It's an expression meaning theatrical, overdone, fun. Musicals of the 40s are said to be campy. And "Kiss me, Kate" from 1948 is definitely one of them. I love it!
