Cairo Opera House

I took a chance in coming across to Gizeera Island today to see if I could get tickets for one of Egypt's star musicians, pianist Omar K., who is giving two concerts this week. No, no, no was the clear take from the young lady's shaking head and pursed lips behind the double glass divide. 'Sold out weeks ago,' she said to rub my naivety and wasted taxi fare further in. Our first visit together to the opera house will have to wait a little longer but hopefully not too long.
