Out walking around Prague yesterday in the old Jewish Quarter when we happened upon this arresting statue of Franz Kafka. I am at a loss to interpret it (you could probably look it up) but we are wearing ourselves out. Philip Glass wrote an opera on Kafka's book The Trial that we had in STL a few years ago.
First opera of the trip Friday night, Shostakovitch"s Lady Macbeth of Mtensk. OMG, the plot is lurid but I love the music.
