Tosca!

9 November 2013: We went to a live broadcast of TOSCA from the Met in New York. We were joined by Lucia Indah and SiYi Wang, students of DNC's tall buildings design module. It did not disappoint - a wonderful experience, hankerchief needed most of the way through to dab tears!
It was quite nice that during the 30 min intervals, they had interviews with the singers, and scenes of the scenery crew changing the enormous set.
Of course, we can't take pictures during the performance... but it's on screen. Here is a link to the NY Times review of the production, to the Met, and to the production.
If you are going to introduce Chinese or Indonesian students to Opera, surely this is the best one to start with!
