Sydney Opera House   I was glad to be able to see it against blue sky!  What a marvelous sight.  On our last night of the trip, we saw a production of Falstaff, a comic opera by Verdi.  The Opera Hall was very small, and the orchestra looked rather cramped in a small pit, and the stage was very narrow, but the smallness produced a very cozy feeling for the audience.

I didn't know that the roofs are covered with small tiles!
