Tosca @ the Met
This opera by Puccini was premiered on 14 January, 1900, at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome. It was based on French Victorien Sardou (1831-1908) 1887 play. The setting is June 1800 Rome, with torture, murder and suicide. The third set ends short and sweet.
The second intermission produced workmen on the stage hammering. Conductor 
Carlo Rizzi, Tosca by Elena Stikhina.
The Starbucks on Broadway @ 63rd Street closes at 12pm, how inconvenient. So I paid $7 at the Met, in a plastic cup.
It wasn’t a sell out event.
I’ve lunch at La Grande Boucherie on 53rd Street.
… and snapshots of New York and GIA.
