15 images
1 (Take a left on Fifth and 57th..that's the Giant Snowflake above the intersection....)
2 (Walking West on 57th...that's the big red '9' by the graphic designer Ivan Chermayeff....)
3 (...in front of the 'Ski-Slope' Building, 1974....you can see the 'Snowflake' on the right....)
4 (...Continuing West, just past Sixth Ave...yes, that's where the pianos are....)
5 (...Carnegie Hall...."Practice, practice, practice!"....)
6 (....Samuel Barbour's 'Antony and Cleopatra'....)
7 (....Ahem! 'Cleopatra' is one of Meryl's colleagues....Meryl has connections in the HIGHEST places, 'Asps a speciality'....)
8 (....Meryl and her Music Bud....and I am given warning NOT to use the iPhone....oops!)
9 (....Very Illegal, but making cub-photographer Jimmy Olsen proud....)
10 (....Did I say Jimmy Olsen? It's Spiderman!....Carnegie Hall was built in 1891....)
11 (....I LOVE this interior....)
(....And then the opera begins....Sorry, Joke! I wish!!....)
12 (....the full rehersal begins...concert format, street clothing....
Lauren Flanigan as Cleopatra on the left, Teddy sadly hidden, way back....he's really tall, if you didn't know that!...)
13 (....and we were out back on the street....Teddy was quite good--and ok, he's gorgeous
and amazingly tall --did I say that yet?--rangy, with a 'default' pose of
'wide-stance' virility that would make Larry Craig faint (and did I say that?? )
Seriously, Teddy was very, very good, and I am so happy to have heard him.
Lauren Flanigan was the star, truly, and Simon O'Neill (a tenor) as Caesar was terrific....)
And we all agreed that the Samuel Barbour score was lush, really beautiful.
Thank you so much, Meryl! Sorry about the photo below--Jimmy Olsen says I blew it!
14 (....Just walking at 57th and Park Avenue, then towards home....)
15 (....Finis!)
Meryl:
WOW, now that's a rehearsal report! Thanks, Jimmy John! :-*
It was such fun being able to give you the gift of Teddy. He is gorgeous, eh? Sounds pretty good, too. L and I had a great meal at Rue 57; we'll have to go back sometime so you can get your steak. The screening of "Revolutionary Road" proved to be excellent, too. All in all, a very good day's play! 8)
Ellemeno:
Wow, neato cool!
Once I was walking down 57th when I was about maybe 11, and my father and I watched a big pane of glass come flying out of that 9 building and tumble through the air til it landed in the street in front of a taxi. No one was hurt. Saw the whole thing.

That's one NY sight I hope none of us sees soon! Glad you survived to tell it to the Brokies. :P :)

Ditto. Whew!
(Watched a window fall out on 65th and Third Avenue about ten years ago. It hit smack in the middle of the intersection, and, thankfully, no one was hurt. Very unsettling, though....)
