My first visit to the theatre
First of all, I`d like to say that there are different types of theatre: opera, puppet theatre, drama theatre, variety theatre. I do remember my first visit to the theatre. It was a comedy, because I like them very much. We booked the tickets in advance via the Internet. As it was in summer, we didn`t leave any things in the cloakroom. But we bought the programe to read the cast and the plot. Before the performance we saw the photos of the leading actors and actresses on the walls. After the bell rung we took our seats and enjoy the performance. The performance was very interesting.
