Iceland: The Barber of Reykjavik. And other operas.

When I first met Jamie she told me that her dream in life was to visit the Sydney Opera House. We now have hundreds of photos of it taken in every season at every time of day from every conceivable angle. Now I discover that it has nothing to do with it being the Sydney Opera House. The woman just plain loves all opera houses.

The unusual structure above is the Reykjavik Opera House. Not as grand as the one in Sydney, perhaps, but it’s still amazing that a country with only 300,000 people commissioned such an imposing structure. We also have opera house tours on our Oslo and Stockholm itineraries. We saw a real live freak show at the Sydney Opera House and we have tickets to see an Icelandic stand-up comic tomorrow night at the Reykjavik Opera House. Because as you may have guessed, Jamie likes opera houses a lot more than she likes opera.
