Central seats in the stalls were

I suggest you really like modern German opera before you get tickets here. There was a woman who got tickets after us and was so excited she asked us to take a photo for her with her ticket. If fact they really liked it, after the performance the German audience gave 3 ovations to the cast. The last one was a standing ovation. That’s how much they loved the performance. Maybe something was lost in the translation, but the story wasn’t too interesting for us. Oh, yes there is an English translat
