Havana Opera House

Havana Opera House
The old city of Havana in Cuba has much to offer the tourist. Here is the splendid Opera House: 'Gran Teatro de La Habana'. It was constructed to serve as a social center for Galician immigrants to Havana. The theatre has been home to the Cuban National Ballet and plays home to the International Ballet Festival of Havana. For me, if its dance and music is as good inside as the physical beauty of outside then it's a place indeed. Notice the typical 1950's auto-mobiles still in general use here.

Was pretty good Nick. Quite different from the normal Caribbean cruise. I think Havana, Cuba was the highlight. Not much moody landscapes to be had though via our full-on coach trips.
Greetings Herb

Steve, Havana old town is stunning. Almost every corner is filled with buildings like this, all in brilliant white. Colour is added by the shiny vintage cars all cleaned and polished to glory. I imagine one has to take ultra care of your car if you know you cannot buy another and there are no spare parts. By enlarge the streets were very clean too and all the faces were smiling which says something about there lives. Cheers for calling around. Herb

Excellent, real 'wedding cake' architecture nicely captured. Their cars are the epitome of 'make do and mend', very resourceful people.

Unfortunately we hadn't the chance to visit a performance there. On photos I've seen that's very interesting inside also.
