My trip to Germany: Friday the 17th of August

For Friday Thea had bought tickets to see the opera Tosca by Giacomo Puccini. I rarely go to the opera. The tickets are quite expensive at least here in Helsinki. I suppose this one was not too cheap either. Last opera I saw was Madame Butterfly an opera also by Puccini. It was so beautiful and dramatic. I almost cried at the end of it. This was about four years ago, so it was time to go to the opera again.

The Tosca opera took place in Bregenz a city in Austria. I have never seen anything like that before. It was just amazing. I took lot of photos and some video too. Maybe you get a feeling how great it was. They are playing the Tosca again next summer. It's worth checking out!

We drove there by car and it took only an hour and a half to get there which is not bad at all.
