It happened again!

It happened again today that my plans for the evening, and my plans for the blog, were drastically changed. Odnoo and me were suddenly and totally unexpectedly given free tickets to a concert with a famous opera singer. The music was mostly traditional Mongolian (which I like a lot, the tunes are often slightly melancholic) but Verdi and Strauss had also found their way in. Only one thing annoyed me immensely: the event was filmed, and quite often they filmed also the audience. While doing that a horrible spotlight was turned on which blinded me and most other people.

Gorgeous colors! This is a horse-headed fiddle orchestra, but as you can see two Western instruments are there too: the grand piano and the violoncello.

Note that this concert was not at all for tourists, in fact I saw no tourist-looking person at all.





The protagonist in action.

















The conductor.
