Street culture...for Bucharest

Even if Bucharest has a lot of theatres, the National Opera and the National Operetta Theatre, the cultural life in Bucharest is poor. This feeling is obvious in the summer, when people leave the city for holidays and all the cultural institutions close their doors.

But, this night was a surprise for me and my girlfriend: We took a short walk, as we often do in the evening, and we find in the Herastrau Park something very nice: The National Operetta Theatre "Ion Dacian" was giving a live concert in the park. What is even better is that they will do that every Sunday evening until September 14.

Maybe for european cities this could be something usual but for Bucharest is huge, as it's the first time when opera is coming to play in the street. I hope the other cultural institutions will do so. As far as I know, Enescu Festival also has some representation in the street.

So, if you are a Bucharest visitor in this period, don't forget to go there and see that.
