I wish I could have gotten to partake in theater productions in every port where the Princess Cruise ship stopped, but fortunately/unfortunately, we only had time to see a smashing performance of SWAN LAKE at the Russian Conservatoir in St. Petersburg. The dancers were light as a feather (the group we went with spent the ride back to the boat comparing them to the klunky cruise ship dancers) and the orchestra was brilliant beyond my wildest dreams.

Still, I took photographs of the theaters/theater-related stuff I found...with some comforts of home along the way.

Stockholm:


The Dramatic Theater, presenting Hamlet (note that the banners are pink and have Hamlet stereotypically dressed with sweater tied around his shoulders...an interesting interpretation, I imagine)


The ABBA museum sign:


St. Petersburg, Russia, inside the Conservatoire:




"I Am My Own Wife" in Tallin, Estonia:


The stage of the yearly "Sing" in Tallin:


More to come.

Berlin:









Copenhagen:

One of the big theaters:


Waiting in line at the ticket center (I assume to see HAIR at the Dela...wait, wrong country):


The Royal Theatre of Denmark:


The Opera House:


I think that's it...maybe I'll post a picture of the Little Mermaid statue, if requested.

Enjoy!
