I am so excited because I have been researching different things to do around Santiago and I came upon the metropolitan theater is going to be doing some amazing shows while I am here in Santiago. The ballet is doing Sleeping Beauty, by Tchaikovsky --- one of my favorites, the opera is doing Marriage of Figaro, by Mozart. I am so excited and I am going to go with some of the students from COPA. These tickets are a little more expensive for here, but comparatively to the US they are very cheap... around $18-24 bucks for decent seats.
There are also a lot of other arts events around the city. I am going to probably go to a lot of these because you can get seats for around 4 bucks, which in comparison to the Minnesota Orchestra is very, very cheap. It should be pretty amazing and I am going to keep you updated as I go to them on how they were.
I first went to a ballet with Carrie in the twin cities when we saw the Nutcracker, two Christmases ago. I also went to Sleeping Beauty with Sarah, my friend from college, in Vilinus, Lithuania. It was probably the best arts event I have ever attended and was excellent. I hope that the ballet here in Santiago is as good, but I don't know if you can ever beat those Russian and Eastern European dancers, they are so good!
