Al teatro!

I may have mentioned this before but I am taking a class called Modern Trends in 20th century Hispanic Drama. We have read three plays in class so far, and last night was our class trip to the theatre! I have to say it was a pretty interesting experience! 

We saw two short plays: El amor brujo and La vida breve. The best part: music for both by Manuel de Falla! 

It was definitely interesting seeing a play completely in Spanish, and I really enjoyed part of the second play that included an extensive flamenco dance/music scene complete with castanets. I also loved the music--it made me realize how much I miss playing in Baylor's orchestra three times a week! (When I got home, I booked a ticket for a symphony concert in a few weeks!) 

Here are some pictures--sorry they're a little blurry!

This is to show that the stage was slanted!
