Theatro de Cervantes y La Estrella de Sevilla (The Star of Sevilla)
So last night I went to see a play called the Star of Sevilla, it was incredible. The theatre was beautiful and I got to sit in a private balcony on the first floor box 12 I felt really rich!!!! The set was contemporary and the costumes simple. All of it was of course in Spanish. I was proud that I was able to understand what was going on. Starting out all the actors were kneeling down downstage. Behind them on a raised platform was the sinister ruler and a man close to him. They talk of this beautiful woman who is the star of Sevilla and how the ruler dude wanted to marry her or take her home for his doing. As the scene progresses, the brother of the star talks about her lover Sancho Ortiz and if they are going to get married or close it or not, and their relationship. There is also another woman named Natilde who betrays the star and her brother by trying to get to obtain her freedom by selling them out. So after all the drama Natilde end up dead because she wasn't discreet enough in her actions to dig up dirt on the star. So generally what happens is the star´s lover ends up killing her brother because the King man is jealous and seeks to advance to the star though her lovers actions. In the end, the king man is the loser, the end. I enjoyed going to the theatre and plan on going again this thursday.
