Post by: xanadu on June 28, 2004, 18:41:50 PM: i went there a couple of years ago and the seats were hard and hot as they had soaked up the sun all day and you are advised to take something to sit on ........But OH MY GOD!!!!!! what a night
We saw a Russian ballet and Opera company perform and I was moved to tears....what a place and what a night .......I advise any of you to try it at least once whether you are a fan of the classics or not .........just a by word; we have concerts in Fethiye as well in the ampitheatre in October........just a thought

We are arriving a week friday so we could still be in tome for a visit. It would make a lovely day out if enough of us were interested.

It's a good suggestion of yours and I would love to see La Boheme which is on yhe 13th but my good lady,Sue, wouldn't fancy the long trip to Antalya. I hope eventually to visit the place but there will be many more opportunities. We may bump into each other while we are in Calis.
Best wishes
Pete :(

Would love to take my son - he has just finished at the Scottish School of Dance and starts at the Central School in London on a full scholarship. He is a fantastic son and I'm very proud of him!!

Post by: Carpete on July 05, 2004, 18:57:55 PM: Have had no luck with either ticket or prices I'm afraid and I'm running out of time with computer access available. If anyone else gets a result perhaps they could post it on the site? Sinbad, your sons scholarship sounds brill. Best of luck to him, no wonder you're proud. Happy hols.

There was a concert but it was a private one for cardiologists/doctors laid on. Well worth seeing just for the ruins alone. Will never forget it for more than one reason lol!
