Tristan and Isolde

On Tuesday I went with my mum and my best friend to the theathre to see a performance "Tristan and Isolde". Even that the show started at 7 p.m. there were quite many classes from different schools. I thought that everyone would be talking, but there was absolutely quite in the hall. Maybe some of you have seen the movie of the same title (if you haven't - do this!). The story is romantic, so maybe boys won't like it. But girls will surelty love it!
Young Tristan is a knight in his uncle's court. Because the king hasn't got the successor the guy sails to another island, where a terrible monster keeps in prison a beautiful woman, Isolde. One more person sails with Tristan - she has a secret elixir from the Isolde's mother. She can't keep an eye on it and both, Tristan and Isolde, drink the miksture. They fall in love with each other, but their love is lost at the beginning. Isolde has to marry the king Marc. From this moment lovers meet in the secret place to spend some time together. When their unfaithfulness is explore they both die.
The performance is really great. Being in a theathre where actors are so close to you is magic.
It's not the same that a cinema is. Here you can see every, even the smallest detal, actor's move, gesture, mime, you can listen their breath and a heart beat. It's amazing how precisely actors give their emotions to audience. During the show you can listen to the music and even smell the scent.
If you can go to the theathre, don't hesitate - just go! For me the theathre is moving every time.
