    I agree with your point about doing something illegal that isn’t wrong morally. Even though it is a bit off topic I think it is a real problem today that we still have with the law and hopefully some things will change in that respect

    Im glad you guys appreciate it and that the concept came through well on my old, pixelated camera. I assure you it is much more beautiful in person.

    The Scale is enormous when you are on them. I have great appreciation and awe for how they were constructed

    I think my favorite aspect of the performance was the contrast between the innocent looking children and the deep and stark reality it hints at

    I saw Handel’s Messiah before which was a similar music style, but it was very different because it was no acting and only singing/ orchestrating.

    Being in the hall itself was an incredible experience regardless of what the performers did. It had an amazing atmosphere.

    I found the story of Tosca was a bit boring and predictable but it was greatly enhanced by the dramatic music. I think it was interesting how such a simple story became more powerful than most intricate or complex ones because of how it was composed.

    I felt the story was a classical romantic one, everyone is definitively good or evil, and everything is over dramatic.

    I really enjoyed that the opera was through composed, instead of being several distinct numbers, it all flowed together. My biggest critic (which is minor) is that many times the background music sounded quite similar. Puccini composed thematically rather than showing variety.
