Turandot In Central Park

<p>
  The sound wasn&#8217;t great during the few brief speeches before the show, but was passable for the rest of the night. I was really pleasantly surprised after seeing the suspect looking <a href="#" onClick="window.open('"/imageviewer.aspx?src=/images/turandot-speaker-web.jpg', 'TurandotSpeaker', 'fullscreen=no,toolbar=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,directories=no,location=no,width=341,height=454;margin-left:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px');return false;">speakers</a> which we were actually listening to. After a few glasses of wine and a few tasty morsels, I leaned back and enjoyed&#8230;

    At one point we were surprised to notice a pizza delivery guy. That&#8217;s right, someone amongst the hundred thousand or so attendees managed to convince a pizzeria to deliver to the Great Lawn in the middle of an Opera. Unfortunately, the picture didn&#8217;t come out, which means this once in a lifetime event won&#8217;t be recorded for posterity. Genius&#8230;I only hope the delivery guy got a great tip.

      The best part of the night? When the opera was over, we only had to walk a block to get home.

        Now that I think about it, Hye Yun is really responsible for this sudden burst of culture. I met both Berlinda and Oziel (who played Tonio in Pagliacci) at her wedding brunch. I need to hit her up for some more contacts!
