Opera in the Park
I went to see opera in Central Park last night. It's one of those fun things you do in the summer in NYC, I like these outdoor events: usually free, usually casual, usually a lot of people, and usually some nice picnicking and wine drinking. I went with my brother Robert and his friend Jennifer, but we were surrounded by other people too. It was Puccini's Tosca, not that we paid much attention, most of the people around us were most content with listening while they ate, drank and chatted.
I find it kind of cool that I heard a) Australian accent in front of us b) German accent behind us c) French spoken next to us d) I met a Swedish woman while waiting for Rob by the subway and e) on the subway home I heard Spanish, and more French accents.
Summertime movies in Bryant Park start next week...Hugh Masakela plays in Prospect Park next week...Philharmonic in Central Park is next month.... Sweet.
