Fiddler on the Roof

Last night we visited the outdoor theater in Moerbisch, on the Lake Neusiedel.
Fiddler on the Roof, or Natrevka, as it is called here, was on the program.
A stage, almost too large for this somewhat intimate play. But a numerous cast
brought everything into perspective. The voices were in one case great, and in most other cases very good.
We left the car at the hotel in Pogersdorf and took the 1 hour (approximately) ferry ride to Moerbisch, diagonally opposite each other.
All the while it threatened rain and there was lightning and thunder. I was certain that the show would be cancelled, due to rain, but we were lucky. The start of play was delayed for about 30 minutes and then it went on without interruption. Lightning on the horizon, and a few rolls of thunder, almost enhanced this performance.
I am sorry to admit that I left my camera in the hotel and therefore I cannot show you any pictures of a most elaborate, beautiful stage set.
We shall spend the day here, probably swim off the large beach and hope not to overeat from the generous menu of well prepared foods.
