Hello my darlings! Welcome back to Pink Tutu Rome, your weekly dose of all things pink, sparkly, and fabulous! This is post number 569 and we're continuing our whirlwind tour of the Eternal City! I’ve got my trusty travel bag, my favourite pink tutu (which is absolutely perfect for exploring cobbled streets), and my camera fully charged to capture all the beauty of Rome!
Let me tell you, this week’s been simply enchanting. Rome is an absolute dream come true, especially for a girly girl like me who loves history, beautiful architecture, and of course, fashion! Every corner you turn throws up something new, something stunning, something worthy of a picture for my Instagram! And, darling, did I mention the shopping? Rome's brimming with boutiques, markets, and all sorts of wonderful places to indulge in a bit of retail therapy.
This Wednesday, however, I wanted to share a bit about the cultural treasures we've been soaking up. As many of you know, I absolutely adore a good ballet show. I love everything about it – the beautiful costumes, the athleticism, the grace. So you can imagine how excited I was to find out about a fantastic ballet performance taking place at the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma.
Imagine my delight when I arrived to see this magnificent building! The Teatro dell'Opera di Roma, it's absolutely jaw-dropping! This theatre’s got that regal, elegant vibe, with its grandeur and opulent details – it’s like stepping back in time to a golden age of music and performance! The interior is pure perfection: plush velvet seating, ornate chandeliers, beautiful frescoes. It's just breath-taking! I felt like I was in a fairy tale!
And the show? Oh darling, I couldn’t have asked for a more stunning evening! We saw Giselle, a timeless ballet that never fails to captivate. The dancers were absolute professionals - their moves were so graceful and precise. And the music, the beautiful music! It flowed throughout the whole performance, drawing you into the world of Giselle. You felt every bit of passion, heartbreak, and triumph.
After the show, we took a stroll through the charming streets near the theatre, enjoying the warm night air and indulging in a delicious scoop of gelato. Honestly, even the simplest pleasures feel magnified here in Rome.
Now, darling, a bit about how I managed to afford this lovely evening! It's all thanks to my ballet performances, you see! You know how much I love dancing, so performing allows me to fund my travel dreams. I feel so blessed to be able to share my passion with the world while also ticking off those must-see destinations on my travel list!
And on that note, it's time to catch my train! Tomorrow's a busy day filled with more exploration, a spot of fashion shopping (maybe I’ll pick up a new pink tutu for my Instagram!), and of course, more delightful Italian food! I can't wait to see what this magnificent city has in store for me next.
Until next Wednesday, stay sparkly, stay fabulous, and most importantly, embrace the power of pink tutus! 💕🩰
Love,
Emma
