Opera at the Liceu Barcelona - Manon Lescaut
I never went to a opera before. As I just finished my book "how to make a good brain great" I decided to accept an invitation from a friend to go. The Liceu is at the famous Ramblas. As I was waiting I had luck again. A woman gave me a free ticket because her friend did not show up. As tickets were up to 150 EU I thanked her kindly.
The play was from Manon Lescaut. They spoke Itialian and the translation was in Catalan. My brain was doing an effort. But after 15 minutes my head went heavy and my eyes sleepy.
A break... great, some fresh air. The second part I managed to sleep after 25 minutes I guess.
But the third and the fouth part.... I watched without taking a breath! A fun part to do is play back with the singers and capture the emotions. At the end the woman died. As always they told me. Strange guys those Romans...
