点评:We like to see opera or ballet at national houses when we travel. I tried to search their website in advance of our trip to book something but it is out of date and incomprehensible. So I had given up on any chance of seeing a performance in Ulaanbaatar.
However when we were visiting the main square we noticed people were going into the opera house so decided to investigate. As luck would have it there was an anniversary performance of Swan Lake just about the begin. We checked with the ticket office and managed to secure 2 tickets - seated separately but beggars can't be choosers!
The performance was good - we have seen more technically proficient versions in the past but the audience and the artists were committed, passionate and appreciative which added to our enjoyment. The building itself is not a spectacular as other opera houses we have visited but it is small and intimate with the possibility of seating very close to the orchestra and stage.
翻译:我们旅行时喜欢在国家剧院看歌剧或芭蕾舞。我尝试在旅行前搜索他们的网站预订,但信息过时且难以理解。所以我放弃了在乌兰巴托看演出的机会。
然而,当我们参观主广场时,注意到人们正在走进歌剧院,于是决定去看看。幸运的是,就在演出即将开始时,剧院举行了周年纪念演出《天鹅湖》。我们去售票处确认后,设法弄到了两张票——虽然座位分开,但乞丐是不会挑剔的!
演出很精彩——我们以前看过一些技术更精湛的版本,但观众和艺术家们都全身心投入、充满激情、欣赏力十足,这让我们更加享受。歌剧院本身并不像我们参观过的其他歌剧院那样宏伟壮观,但它规模小巧,氛围温馨,座位可以非常靠近乐队和舞台。
