Tonight we went to a gala concert at the Cairo Opera House. The symphony orchestra and several solists performed show tunes from Phantom, Les Mis, Candide, Chorus Line, etc. It was quite a fun show, and great to have an evening out on the town. We took the metro back at 11:30 PM and it was surprisingly crowded (we had to stand all the way). What was even more surprising was that most of the passengers were families and there were even small children traveling by themselves. This is apparently the city that never sleeps.
