Operabal Budapest 2009

Year by year, I have more fun in Operabal in Budapest. Four years ago, when I first time joined this fancy event, I even didn't have right dress.



I also didn't know how to set my hair:)
But now at least I know how everything goes. I'm totally relaxed than before..



The dress of my mother-in-law is getting powerful year by year:)



We always gather at Godzilla's house for cocktail before going party. These are the women team for 2009. Green dress represents "spring", Ursula, the pink one is "summer", orange skirt is "autumn" and my blue dress is "winter". People call me "ice princess":)



Men are in boring colours but look better in front of colourful Godzilla's art:)


Godzilla wore Keyboard-made cafus ring! It was a Chrsitmas present from us. We knew he will where them for Operabal!



So, an exciting moment of the entrance. As usual, there is a demonstration across the street. People play rock music and try to annoy the participants of Operabal. Which I think good performance:) Because of the recession, demonstration gave bigger impact than last year. I also receognize the affect of recession at the entrance. This year, there was no beautiful ice-made castle in front of the entrace.

But dance hall is beautiful as usual. What important is music and drink!


Four years ago, we just rash into this hall because we were almost kicked out, due to my unproper dress. Now I have one on the most PROPER dress:)

Opening ceremony. The performance of Debuetazen und opera singer are always impressive.



But what impressed me the most is this moment. A Chorus of hungarian National lied. Once the music started, everybody stood up immediately.. Recently, I deeply touched by the spirit of loyalty to the country. I cannot imagine Japanese being so loyal to our national lied.



After a beautiful performance of Debuetanzen, it's our turn to dance!

It always starts from a Walts. But Godzilla and Ursula are already dancing in their origianl style.





After we danced for a while, I was schocked!!



Oh my god!! Godzilla and Ursula are interviewed!! I rash torward them!!



Ursula is explaing about how dress, even where they from and what she does.. I"m sure she gave huge impact to Hungary:)



People might think that Operabal is such a classic party, but actually it's not. After 12 o'clock, even a main dance hall becomes as a rock'n'roll disco:) Three girls, getting wild:)



Even a fiance of my friend, joining this crazy dance session!



Once when Ursula has joined, our dance got even more agressive. Since Ursula's dress stands up a lot, we three drag attention of all:)



Ursula's dress is perfect for spinning dancing!



We danced until 3am in the morning. It was my fourth operabal but I've never stayed so late and never had so much fun. Of course, I had fun everytime but this year was again different. The more I got to know the culture, more fun the party is.. And a BIG THANKS to Godzilla who makes effort to organize the ticket every year!
