As a treat for my birthday (next week), my friend Lisa treated me to a performance of La Donna del Lago at the Metropolitan Opera. These seats are probably the reason they invented opera glasses, but I like the vantage point from up here because you can see the entire stage—and the orchestra too.

The view from the top

Happy Belated Birthday, Alexa! What a nice birthday gift.. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteI like those brilliant flaring white bright lights at the top and how the whites are carried down the front of the tiers of box seats.
ReplyDeleteIf I were sitting there I might become curious as to what the performers look like.
I went to a concert not long ago and had a similar view but just a little bit closer and from above and behind the stage (at the Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, up there to the side of the organ).
(This is inappropriate as a comment here but I noticed that Eric has retired PDP. I was wondering why he and Michael chose Malta. The English language used there helps, but Europe’s single most crowded spot? And few to no trees? A history of monuments that predate the pyramids is intriguing... And also I realized that it might be possible for you, yourself, to do a kind of Paris Daily Photo when you retire there, if you were so inclined.)
(For that matter, there is the slim possibility that talk of Malta is merely a smokescreen and that right now he is catching rays somewhere in Southeast Asia. What would I know?)
