M o d e l :
A: Last night I was at one of the best theatres in Moscow.
The performance was perfect and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Though my seat was in the balcony I could see the stage very
well and hear each sound perfectly. Guess where I was and what
I saw.
B: Were you at the Art Theatre?
A: No, I wasn’t.
B: But you say you could hear each sound perfectly!
A: So I could. I meant the music.
B: Ah, that means you were at the Bolshoi Theatre.
A: That’s right.
B: Was it an opera or a ballet?
A: Try to guess.
B: And who is the composer?
A: P. I. Tchaikovsky.
B: Is the scene laid in Russia?
A: No, it isn’t.
B: Was the scenery beautiful?
A: Oh, yes, it was so beautiful, that there was a storm of
applause when the curtain rose.
B: It’s a fairytale, isn’t it?
A: In a way, yes.

B: Then it was either “Swan Lake”, or “The Sleeping
Beauty”...
A: No, neither of them. It’s not a ballet.
B: If it is an opera, and the composer is Tchaikovsky, and the
scene is not laid in Russia I really can’t guess. Well, one more
question: how many acts are there in this opera?
A: It’s a oneact opera in two scenes.
B: Then it is “Jolanta”!
A: This time you are right.
