what else to do in New York? The Opera, of course.
The buildings of the Lincoln Centre are truly magnificent... one gets the feeling that no expense was spared.
The lighting design was particularly impressive
This is what happens when you get rush tickets... its really just pot luck where you end up sitting. The view wasn't too bad from up here, and the acoustics were actually very good from where we were.
ahh... those lights.
feeling slightly whimsical afterwards, we decided that it would be funny to make it look like Lily had a luminous afro...
Lily and Caitlin discuss the program at a cafe afterwards while I decide just how many courses I want to order.
hmm... Central Park is so Lovely, I wonder what it looks like from the top of one of those really tall buildings?
Hmm.... it still looks quite lovely.
A lovely view of the Empire State Building as seen from the top of the Rockerfeller Centre.
Ice skating seems to be a recurring theme...
Not satisfied with just the opera, we took it upon ourselves to go and see the ballet.
I arrived very early to get good rush tickets... good thing I did. Ten minutes later, the queue was very long indeed.
The interior of the complex is... magnificent, of course.
I must say... for $12, these are pretty awesome seats. I'd rather be lucky than good...
...and, not to be outdone by the opera venue, the ballet theatre also had a very spare-no-expense look about it.
after that, we had another stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge, this time with the aim of getting a good view of the city by night.
...yeah... I guess that's not a bad view...
I know I've already mentioned this, but the Brooklyn Bridge is terribly impressive...
After that rather long night, we gorged ourselves (at 2am) at a very nice 24-hour Ukranian restaurant. Yum.
