I'm loving this trip report, and since we're headed to Rome in 10 days, I took copious notes. I'm looking forward to the Florence portion, certainly one of my favorite cities.

As a friend of music I decided to book one evening a performance at the opera. I had only one choice, Serata Philip Glass. A ballet. It didnīt say anything to me but I booked it.
From outside the opera is not really spectacular. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5b0e6b72ec.jpg The upper lobby with costumes (Rigoletto) https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...b5ab579e86.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...9a0dda7aa8.jpg The audience is as expected opulent. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...25528a430e.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...3e4b3c544a.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8b9ecc92f1.jpg The perfomance was special. First I missed the orchestra. After the light was out the performance started with recorded music. I was not really amused. The Sound was not good. If I head read the program properly I had known it. The dancing was modern and pretty good. Fortunatelly after the first act I was happy to see the orchestra came in. From now on there was proper music and the dancing was on a high level. Costumes were mentionworth and didnīt left much space for Imagination (someone learned a new word: cameltoe). I still would have prefered to watch a classic opera or ballet but it was nevertheless a nice performance. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cc323c6a2a.jpg |
Rome: Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri
Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri is a quite interesting church as it is build in parts of the former Baths of Diocletian. First Michelangelo was responsible for the transformation to a church.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...becbb2bc76.jpg My inside pictures are a little limited as parts were closed due to a service. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...182ccd5302.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ab3d9581b2.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...388bb0f2ea.jpg |

We stumbled into San Crispino last time I was in Rome and definitely agree that we would go back there for our daily dose of Vitamin G.
Also, we saw Swan Lake at the Opera House. Our seats were a little higher up than yours, but it was still a nice experience. |

Gelato: Tre Scalini Rome
Tre Scalini is a relative well known restaurant at Piazza Navona. Itīs famous as tey claim to be the creators of Tartufo. I had dinner there in 2009, nothing special.
This time we didnīt visit the restaurant, we visited the take away. We took one Tartufo and one ice cream. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...63b2a045e9.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f57675ef2e.jpg The Tartufo was good pretty with a lot of chocolate. The ice cream (no gelato) was mediocre, nothing you must eat in Rome. |
