Saturday was a fantastic day and full. Moreno had bought quite a while 'tickets for the musical Oklahoma! to surprise me, because I love myself with all the musical and that, looking at the program of the Teatro Rossetti of Trieste, I said that I would have liked to go there.
Lately here in Friuli is doing pretty cold that day and in particular we have also encountered snow and ice on the road! Unfortunately the picture was just too blurry to post it (I've taken while Moreno was driving ^ ^) ... but then you just imagine if you were wondering, here is pretty rare that it snows even in December! So it was a surprise for us to go out and see snow on the sides of the road to Trieste.
When we arrived at the theater we immediately felt the excitement in the air before a show ... both could not wait to sit in our chairs and enjoy the musical, but we had time to take pictures at the Politeama Rossetti, to let you see:

The windows of the "front" of the theater were plastered with posters! I almost felt like a steal once inside! :)
And here we are in our whole front of the theater style ^ ^
We also took pictures of the interior, because they both love it and thought it was worth it see also to you, the dome of the theater is painted like a sky with clouds and stars, small LED lights that turn off once the lights fall:
And here is the stage just before the show: the map of United States, which served as a curtain.
We both very much appreciated the interpretation of the actors and their voices are wonderful as well as the fantastic music and performed by a live orchestra ! I have to say then that the songs were really beautiful, catchy, complex and enjoyable, fantastic choreography and, in particular, very long (15 minutes!), Which depicts the dream of the protagonist.
I must admit that we had never heard of Oklahoma!, But maybe we are the only ^ ^ The musical is very famous in the States and England so that, after its debut, the musical has been replicated for over 2212 times on Broadway at the close! Do you think the U.S. tour of the show is a record, has 10 years and a half repeats. Then, released by the U.S., has been performed all over the world, translated into many languages \u200b\u200band did not know it was even made a film (of 1956). Also, what made us stand open-mouthed, Oklahoma! (Which is the song that I put in the video, taken from The Royal National Theatre Production of 1998) is the only song from a musical that has become the official anthem of the state ! Another little extra: the authors were Rodgers and Hammerstein, the creators of "All The Sound of Music ".
History, for those not familiar, is, simply, the love story between the young Laurey (played by Gemma Sutton) and the cowboy Curly (actor Mark Evans), and concludes at the end with their marriage. Around this main plot is also developed a secondary that tells another story of love, this time between the "easy" Ado Annie (Michelle Crook) and the simpleton Will (Joseph Pitcher). These two characters were very funny and gave a twist to the whole. Other important characters include Aunt Eller (the London-based star Marti Webb), Laurey relative of that watches over the community, the merchant Ali Hakim (also a character and diventente admirer of Ado Annie) and Jud Fry, Laurey's love bumpkin who tries to hinder the two lovers.
The show lasted three hours and, since it was started at 16 when we left it was almost time for dinner. Since near the theater is a Japanese restaurant ("Tokyo") where do we eat very well jumped at the chance!
I took a mix of sushi and maki, miso soup and then, instead Moreno took octopus in sweet vinegar (pictured), tempura and dumplings.
All delicious!
