🇨🇿 Flying Across the Globe for Ballet Magic ✨

💙If you visit Prague just for Charles Bridge and the Astronomical Clock, you’re missing out! 💙I flew 20+ hours from Sydney (twice!) for one thing: Swan Lake at the Prague State Opera – and it was worth every second. 🎭 The Venue: A Gilded Dream 💐Gold-leaf ceilings, crystal chandeliers, and velvet seats – like stepping into a royal palace. 💐Even the pre-show murmur of the audience and orchestra tuning up felt magical. 🦢 Swan Lake: Breathtaking Beauty 💐The duality of Odette/Odile, paired with Tchaikovsky’s score, left me spellbound. 🌈Dancers moved with such ethereal grace, I forgot to blink! 💡 Pro Tips 🌈Book 2-3 months ahead (popular shows sell out!). 🌈Seat hack: Balcony “obstructed view” tickets (like my 490 CZK steal) often have empty neighboring seats – upgrade yourself at intermission! 🎊Intermission ritual: Sip Czech cava (€4/glass) under chandeliers. 🎟️ Tosca Addendum 🎊Italian libretto with English/Czech subtitles – easy to follow. 🎊Live orchestra + revolutionary drama = pure intensity. 📍 Prague State Opera ⭐Wilsonova 4, Vinohrady (short walk from Old Town) 💎 Side Quest: Snagged a vintage Omega Ladymatic (€550!) from a clock shop en route – now my Prague souvenir ticks with ballet memories. #PragueBallet #OperaAndChampagne #CzechCulture
