The Teatro Rojas

Yesterday we visited the Toledo´s great Teatro Rojas. This theatre is somewhat unassuming from the outside. We entered it from a back door and were asked to wait on the stage while the technician raised the curtain. There were some problems with the curtain and we waited and waited observing the stage and all of its many mechanisms. Finally the technician returned and told us that the curtain would not raise and asked if we would like to look at the house where the seating is. Of course, we did want to see it, as we have wanted to see everything that they have offered to us. Upon entering the house of the theatre Phil, Jacob and I gasped. The Teatro Rojas is perhaps the most beautiful theatre I have ever seen. If you can imagine a grand 18th century theatre fit for a king this is that theatre.

We must go now to me a painter. I will give more details later and provide some pictures of all of the wonderful things that Toledo, Spain has to offer.
