Hard up for internet.

I'm finding that it will be a big hassle to get access to the internet here in Moscow. The computer at the hostel is broken, and the computers that people brought with them are not always available. So, it all frustrating to get online.
Opera is beginning to lose any high regard in my handbook. After seeing Tosca at the Bolshoi, I was very disappointed with it. The biulding was nice, and the music as alright, but the performance itself was not good. I guess I just can't handle the idea the opera actors (if that's what we can call them) can't act at all. They make for a terrible stage performance.
On the other hand, I was very pleased the the Togonka Theater's production of Antigone. I felt the staging was very strong, the set was different in a great way, and they way it was used by the actors was excellent. I enjoyed the level of acting as well. I always new what the dynamic was on stage even though I couldn't tell what they were saying--they did all this without any type of over acting. There was chanting, flexible people doing flexible things, and a good dynamic as far as casting went. All in all--great.
We have two days now of no class or plays due to Russian Christmas. I hope to have fun and get some reading done.
