And Then, a Night at the Opera

Posted on July 28, 2017 by Bill Murray

After their cruise yesterday, Presidents Niinistö and Putin joined us at the Savonlinna Opera Festival for the Bolshoi Theatre’s performance of Pytor Tchaikovsky’s Iolanta.

It was an authentic treat to hear the The Bolshoi Theatre Choir and Orchestra play Tchaikovsky, but the presidents and their retinues kept largely to themselves.

Welcome. I'm Bill Murray, travel writer, picture-taker and lifetime traveler.

I’m author of four books. Brand new in April 2021 is Out There: Thirty Essays on Travel, a collection of travel columns. Also, get yourself a copy of these three: Out in the Cold, Travel Adventures in Svalbard, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland and Canada, Common Sense and Whiskey and Visiting Chernobyl. 

I contribute a monthly column about off-the-beaten-track travel to the Monday Magazine at 3QuarksDaily.com, and I curate EarthPhotos.com, a collection of 20,000+ photos from the 120 countries and territories to which my wife and I have traveled.

Our ongoing mission is to get to places we haven't been, write books and articles, post commentary here and photos on EarthPhotos.com.

We live in Georgia, USA, and spend as much of each summer as we can at our mökki on Lake Saimaa in Finland. Except in pandemic years.

LinkedIn Bio here. 

Here's where we've been and when.
