Lis and I went to see an opera in Amsterdam on Saturday.  The Netherlands National Opera company performed Tannhäuser by Richard Wagner.  The stage design and costuming were very minimalist and futuristic which Lis hated and I liked, once I got used to the idea.  The title role was even played by a Yank but I still couldn’t understand his German very well.
