Opera House
Yesterday evening, I went to the opera house with two of my roommates and my roommate’s friend to see a show-tunes concert, which was a blast. It was performed by the Sydney Symphony and two singers who have acted in a lot of musicals in Ireland. The hall was beautiful but I forgot to bring my camera so I’ll just have to go back. They did a really good job of constructing it so that you don’t feel like you’re a million miles away from the stage even if you’re in the back (which we were). I was proud of myself because I recognized more of the music than any of the other girls in my group. No one else had seen either “Oliver” or “Annie Get Your Gun”. And they ended it up with “The Music of the Night” (Phantom) and “You Can’t Stop the Beat” (Hairspray)… very different, but probably two of my all-time favorites. Then, we went to this great 24 hour restaurant called Pancakes on the Rocks. Yum! Okay, that’s all for tonight. Have to go write an essay.

Thanks for the blog--its a fun read, and fun to have a glimpse of you and the Aussies. I have to find a prof's bio paper on hearing about 'sidewalkers' in a pub, and investigating to find crabs that came out when emphermal ponds formed after hard rains in the desert. Its a fascinating and wacky place. Hope you get to the rainforest.
Keep writing to us! best, Scott

Hey Hannah,
I had to laugh at your last post in that you recognized most of the songs. Guess it just goes to show you that your Mom did bring you up right...watching musicals, singing songs from musicals etc. etc. etc.
The photos are great to look at especially of the flora and fauna. I've not really thought about traveling to Australia (over other places)...and now I'm having to really reconsider.
THANKS ALOT! ;-)
Take care, Love and hugs! Lise
