Last night I listened to Puccini’s Turandot, thanks to the Met which has generously live-streamed productions from their archives. I hope the offer it again soon. Definitely my favorite Puccini.

We’re off to the Vermont for the weekend, where the scenery is beautiful and the internet access non-existent.
