January 30: After the opera

Saw my first opera this afternoon, a "Live at the Met" presentation of Puccini's "Turandot," which was quite a dramatic spectacle set in an imaginary Chinese court. Not to be outdone, the sunset tonight was also spectacular.

After "Turandot"
drama of hot pink sunset.
I stop, watch it fade.

October 15: Hamlet

Tonight we saw the National Theatre of London's intriguing performance of "Hamlet" streamed live, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Hamlet.
 
After the play ends,
a plea for refugee aid--
this work of being human.
