We are going back to Berlin! I didn’t think we would return so soon to a city we’ve already visited, but an opportunity arose that we couldn’t resist. A bucket list item for most opera lovers is the Wagner Ring Cycle, Der Ring des Nibelungen, and when we heard that Deutsche Oper Berlin would be performing all four operas this week, we booked our tickets. We also booked tickets for a couple concerts while we were at it.

We’re looking forward to seeing Berlin again. In December it was very cold, snowy, and icy but so beautiful and full of history, art, and music (and Christmas Markets). One week was not nearly enough, so we appreciate the opportunity to explore this city and nearby areas some more and to enjoy springtime in Berlin. (Ear worm alert! Now that I’ve typed that sentence, I can’t get this song out of my head.)

Once again, I’ll be posting daily (hotel wi-fi permitting) on this blog so you can visit Germany vicariously through us. If you have recommendations for stuff we should do in Berlin, please leave a comment.

See you on the interwebs!
