We went to the Opera House today to see Mozart's 'Cosi Fan Tutte', roughly translated as "So do all women", a slightly long and heavy second act contrasting with the light, fluffy and comic first act. Not the best opera to go to, as there is only one recognisable song and that's in the first act. However, beautifully sung and very well directed; it was an enjoyable evening.
The pre-performance meal at the Aria, right opposite the Opera House was superb, but with all such dinners a bit sparce. Ashley suggested that a full dinner next year was on the cards!
Returned to Darling Harbour where we tried to get a drink at a neighbouring restaurant, but as we were at least 40 years older than most of the clientele, we returned to our room for our well deserved Horlicks. The view of Darling Harbour from the balcony is impressive.
Hoping to go to the Rocks, near Circular Quay tomorrow, for what we are informed is a very good market. Jane is after some more suitcases...........
