We have no idea of the storyline at the beginning of the evening.   And not much of a clue when it's all over!  Fortunately there are enthusiasts out there who write in to remind us.  Here are some from our trip to Den Anden Oper in Copenhagen.    You can leave your own comments about the show on our Blog (click at the left of the Home Page)
