Night at the Opera (Oct. 9)

As part of cultural enrichment, the students in District 2350 were presented with the opportunity to attend an opera and have a fancy dinner for free. The food was exceptionally well prepared, and I think everyone enjoyed it greatly. This was the first time some of us has the chance to meet some of the new arrives in Sweden who came maybe a month later than us. When we entered the opera hall, it finally gave us to do the most important thing Rotary students can do (exchange pins). We then entered the auditorium where the actual performance would take place. The Italian and French students were so excited when the singers started singing, and the opera songs were in their language. The opera was very pleasant, and I would defiantly attend it again. Afterward, when the actors had their little spiel, all the exchange students realized that the lady singer had to be from Skåne because of her very distinct accent that you can only find in the south of Sweden (it sounds like Danish….).
