Приятно чувствовать себя как дома в стране, где официальный язык английский. Вдвойне приятно, когда тебя не принимают за иностранца или туриста в таких городах как Лондон или Нью-Йорк. В 2017 я посетила "сердце мира".

Предлагаю небольшой видео фрагмент о самых главных достопримечательностях Нью-Йорка для тех, кто собирается туда впервые.

Мои самые сильные впечатления были от музея Метрополитен и от Метрополитен оперы.

В Метрополитен оперу предлагается великолепная экскурсия:

Вот что творится за сценой одного из самых известных театров мира.

Представляю один из моих любимых городов мира. Мою поездку я назвала "Лондон театральный".

The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, on land owned by Thomas Brend and inherited by his son, Nicholas Brend and grandson Sir Matthew Brend, and was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613. A second Globe Theatre was built on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 1642.

A modern reconstruction of the Globe, named "Shakespeare's Globe", opened in 1997 approximately 750 feet (230 m) from the site of the original theatre.

Театр предлагает интереснейший тур за сцену. Ведь именно там происходит все самое интересное.

Удалось попасть на мастер класс по фехтованию. Главный преподаватель рассказывал, как обучают этому мастерству в театре.

А теперь посетим

Royal Opera House

The Royal Opera House is an opera house and major performing arts venue in Covent

Garden, central London. The large building is often referred to as simply "Covent Garden", after a previous use of the site of the opera house's original construction in 1732. It is the home of The Royal Opera, The Royal Ballet, and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. Originally called the Theatre Royal, it served primarily as a playhouse for the first hundred years of its history. In 1734, the first ballet was presented. A year later, Handel's first season of operas began. Many of his operas and oratorios were specifically written for Covent Garden and had their premieres there.

Экскурсия была потрясающая. Пообщались с ведущей балериной, посмотрели репетицию балетного класса, побывали во всех мастерских, посмотрели немного репетицию спектакля.

Самый невероятный театр -

Royal Albert Hall

The Royal Albert Hall is a concert hall on the northern edge of South Kensington, in the City of Westminster, London, England, best known for holding the annual summer Proms concerts since 1941. It has a capacity (depending on configuration of the event) of up to 5272 seats, however standing areas and stage specifications can increase or decrease this. The Hall is a registered charity held in trust for the nation and receives no public or central and local government funding.

Since its opening by Queen Victoria in 1871, the world's leading artists from several performance genres have appeared on its stage and it has become one of the UK's most treasured and distinctive buildings. Each year it hosts more than 350 events including classical concerts, rock and pop, ballet and opera, sports, award ceremonies, school and community events, charity performances and banquets.

The Hall was originally supposed to have been called The Central Hall of Arts and Sciences, but the name was changed by Queen Victoria to Royal Albert Hall of Arts and Sciences when laying the foundation stone, as a dedication to her deceased husband and consort Prince Albert. It forms the practical part of a national memorial to the Prince Consort – the decorative part is the Albert Memorial directly to the north in Kensington Gardens, now separated from the

Hall by the road Kensington Gore.
