Why I need to go to Zurich again…


Going to the opera is considered very romantic I guess…. I always thought like a normal girl next door I will go there someday with some one special, little did I know…..

I had a day to myself in Zurich, was suppose to meet my uncle the next day, so was roaming about trying to locate a museum….due to my expert map interpretation abilities managed to entry the above building…

I had never seen anything as elegant before.. .. ..I see everyone else dressed up and they have this posh space to hang coats and… I can’t help thinking… wow what I nice museum!! I feel like I am in rags… (Otherwise considered as perfectly smart clothes)
The guy at the ticket counter doesn’t speak English, so thankfully sends me to inquiry counter….

Over there after explaining the brief background and history of the building they ask me “Which show would you like ? we have an Italian and German version” that is when I finally realized….. I had walked into the world famous “Zurich opera house”.

Thankfully I didn’t get tongue tied and made an excuse and I can’t make to Italian show and I don’t understand German… and promised to be back on my next visit (mentally saying ….better equipped for sure). I did go back to Zurich after that, but didn’t still see the opera….



Some day I still hope to see an opera with someone special….

How cool is your photo inside the opera house!

If you are going to put out an opportunity like that; even a dork would long to go to the opera. :)
