Another Night at the Opera

Tuesday we went into town late and saw an interesting opera/ballet performance of Bizet's Carmen (Nietzsche's favorite opera), then wandered about the Josefov and the Stare Mesto at night (with thousands of other tourists).

The show was a kind of combination opera/
ballet, oratorio-style singing, ballet going
on meanwhile, even some old cinema of
Seville; interesting; it was at the Divadlo
Hybernia, across from the Municipal House
















Bizet's music is glorious










Entrance to the Municipal House; we
visited it a few days later












Its adjoining tower












Tower of the Church of Our Lady of Tyn
(I think)












The Rathaus Tower












Prague's astronomical clock













Looking across the Moldau to Hradcany Castle










And St. Vitus'
