lagilmanWent to see Tosca @ the Met today. Not my favorite opera -- the music is beautiful but the plot holes are terrifying even for opera -- but it was enjoyable. The staging was interesting even if I didn't agree with some of the choices (and I can see why the critics aren't thrilled with it, although I think some of that is "ewww, new cooties! It has new cooties!"
The real problem with Tosca, though, is that I have to fight the urge to recast it w/ Miss Piggy and Kermit. Hard to concentrate on the stage, after that.
(oh come on. Tosca is so totally Miss Piggy. Cavaradossi as Kermit, and Scarpia as... Sam the Eagle's evil brother?)
But anyway. Long day, followed by pesto & sun-dried tomato pizza, and home now not to collapse but work. Because that's how the bills get paid around here....
