Turandot was Cancelled! Shame

This is the set in the open-air theatre where it should all have happened, but because the heavens opened, lightning flashed and  thunder clapped, the performance was cancelled on safety grounds.   We felt fed up, as did the rest of the bedraggled audience who had to make their way home in torrential rain.   The photo below shows from left:  Yet another Lion, Ralph, Katrin, Karl and Monika sheltering under in entrance of an hotel.  It was such a shame, but we will be offered exchange tickets for any performance in the State Theatre at a later date.   Our group of five grew into a group of nine, as friends joined Monika and Ralph, so we wandered into the Altstadt and found a cosy little "pub" for a few beers and some music.  The lowest photo shows Roland, who found a seat underneath a lampshade.  He said he'd always been a hothead!
