We rode the subway to the National Theater on Friday morning. The location was already full of tourists groups. The theater is shaped like an egg to signify new life and creation. It is covered with a thin "skin" and water circulates through it 24 hours a day. It was started in 2002, but construction stopped because it was such a controversial design. It was completed before the Olympics. I tried to get a ticket to a performance, but there were no English performances during my stay. "Carmen" was being presented on the opera stage, but I had just seen it in the theater at home.
