You will hear a man giving a group updated information about a theater trip to Munich.
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 15.
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 15.
Right, I've nearly finished arranging our tour, so I can now update you on the details that have been confirmed.
As you know, we fly to Munich first.
On Monday the 4th, our flight leaves at 11.30, which is too early for lunch at the airport.
I suggest that we meet there at 10 for coffee.
That should still leave everyone enough time to eat breakfast before leaving home.
At Munich Airport, Klaus Bauer will be waiting for us.
Klaus is employed by a tour operator, and he'll take care of the group throughout our time in Germany.
He has already contacted the managers of all the theaters we'll visit.
He has also arranged for a staff member from Munich's national theater to give us a tour of the building one afternoon.
When we last discussed the trip, I couldn't give you the exact hotel price, but that has now been settled.
The standard charge for a double room is 150 euros per night.
I'd hoped to reduce it to 120, but I've actually negotiated a price of 110 euros.
This reduction will be included in the final amount you must pay by the end of this week.
On Tuesday, our first full day, I'd planned for us to observe a theater rehearsal.
Unfortunately, that has been impossible to organize.
Instead, a coach will take us to visit one of the remarkable castles in the mountains south of Munich.
We'll all eat together on Tuesday evening at a restaurant close to the hotel.
After asking about everyone's preferences, I realized that a typical regional restaurant would serve too much meat for some members of the group.
Several of you proposed an Italian place.
However, I eventually reserved a Lebanese restaurant because we have plenty of chances to eat Italian food at home.
On Wednesday afternoon, we'll meet the director of the play we're attending that evening.
She'll explain the complete production process, including her selection of the actors, and, because it is a modern play, the way she collaborated with the playwright.
Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions 16 to 20.
Now listen and answer questions 16 to 20.
I'd now like to explain a few things about the plays on our schedule.
The information may affect which clothes you decide to pack.
Wednesday evening's production is contemporary, and we'll be attending its premiere, so the occasion will be fairly elegant, although formal dress isn't required.
It's apparently a multimedia production, with striking lighting and a recorded electronic soundtrack.
Unfortunately, the playwright is unwell, and probably won't be there.
Thursday's play originally opened last year.
The town commissioned it to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of a famous local scientist.
We'll see a revival of that well-received production.
Friday's event makes clothing more difficult to plan, because the performance takes place in the garden of a palace.
The surroundings are beautiful, but there'll be very little shelter if the weather is windy.
On Saturday, a coach will take us to a theater in a nearby town.
The performance opens a drama festival, and the mayor and the town's other officials will all attend.
Afterwards, the mayor will hold a reception for the entire audience, with a band performing traditional music from the region.
Our final play is on Monday, inside the old town hall, a magnificent building dating from the 14th century.
The occasion celebrates the leading actor's 50 years on the stage, and this is the play in which he made his first professional appearance.
We fly home the following day.
Now, does anyone have a question before I?
That is the end of part two.
