Romeo and Juliet

After an afternoon of walking around the city and exploring the many shops and bookstores, we suited up for dinner and then an evening at the Sydney Opera House to see Bell Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet. I know our coordinators had tried to get us to the opera, but that wasn’t possible because it was not in session now. However, this performance was excellent. It was a modern take on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet as directed by John Bell. It was certainly a highlight to see a great show at such a famous venue. After that a couple of us Fulbrighters went out to explore looking for gelato, but all the stores were closed. So, we walked back and called it a day.
