Well, Last night we went to the Syndey Opera House to see the show called Tales from Vienna Woods.
We started with dinner at a resturaunt calls Selah, located right behind our hotel. The menu is modern Australian, which is similar to California Cuisine. Basically these modern resturaunts take advantage of local fresh product to make these layered dishes that our both visually look great and taste good. Think Iron Chef. I had the lamb, my friend had the chicken. Both were excellent.
Then it was off to the theater. The complex itself is gorgeous, sitting off at the end of the pier (see my Australia pics folder). We had four show options. ONe was a South African solo performer, one was the nutcracker, the third was Tales from Vienna Woods. The symphony was doing the music of John Williams. We chose the third.
I used to work at a theater in upstate NY and have seen quite a few shows. Nothing was a tough as this one. The acting was fine, but the material was downright depressing. Not one character had any redeeming characteristics. Made you want to jump off the pier after the show. Made for a strange night afterwards. Not at all what I would have expected.
I certainly would go back, but choose better material to see there. This was a bit out there.
