We’re still in Italian mode, we heard Donizetti’s “L’Elisir d’Amore” at the Met last night and ate at Café Fiorello before the opera. The meal and performance were both great. Anna Netrebko, one of my favs, was Adina and Matthew Polenzani was Nemorino.
When we walked to our seats in the orchestra, the curtain showed an Italian plain, with vineyards and distant hilltop villages, and the village piazza stage set in the first act were just what we had been seeing on our trip. So, I will show a few more pix from Apulia. Also, I don’t have anything new to show.
Vermont tomorrow.
More Italy: St. Oronzo, patron saint of Lecce, high atop a pillar in the central piazza.
Pompei, Apollo, reproduction of the statue found in the ruins of his temple.
