Art/Literary - Music / opera | | German term or phrase: aussergewoehnlichen Kulisse | This is from a company's promotional event at an opera house
Listed among the evening of events for the evening:
-"Apres Theatre-Buffet" in der aussergewoehnlichen Kulisse des Opernhauses
I have an idea what this would refer to, but was ultimately still a little unsure
Not a big "Opernfreund," I'm afraid...
Thanks. |
| | | literally "extraordinary backdrop" | Explanation:

Thanks.
