Last Day in Prague

Prague has been really amazing so far. The scenery is beautiful, the food is great, and there are so many shops. Two days ago, a group of us went up to an old monastery with a very old library to look at it. Afterwards we came on to the hills overlooking the city and I got some great pictures. That same day we saw Tosca which was very good. The brass of the pit were so amazing, the power they brought was unbelievable! The actress playing Tosca was also very good; her voice was beautiful and she able to project past the wall shattering brass.

Yesterday we saw the Czech Symphony Orchestra perform, and I was very blown away. Which the orchestra was very good, what really caught my attention was the conductor. He was very into the music; it was easy to tell in his actions and in his face. However, even with all of his expressive movements, he still seemed very clear with his beats. It was really amazing to watch.

Today we're going to a chamber music up in Prague Castle, then we'll look around the castle a bit, and then we'll end with a jazz riverboat tour. It should be a very exciting day!
