6/an unforgettable night ❤️‍🔥

#Met #Opera #Tosca #Puccini

[Angie Yao @Angieyyao]

🎭 Tosca
June 17–18, 1800. 24 hours, 3 Roman landmarks, and Puccini pushing verismo to its absolute heartbreaking limit 💔

5/Honestly, seeing the Korean tenor's face threw me off at first, until his opening "Recondita armonia" pulled me straight back to 1800s Rome~and his Act III "E lucevan le stelle" broke my heart. Paired with a mesmerizing, gut-wrenching "Vissi d'arte" from our Tosca…

[Angie Yao @Angieyyao]

4/ Puccini’s score is pure magic. The Act I Te Deum~ blending sacred church ritual with Scarpia’s dark scheming~gives literal chills live, and the tense parlato moments keep you on the edge of your seat.

3/Shots fire. Mario falls.
Tosca whispers, "Bravo!" thinking he’s a brilliant actor.
He never gets back up.

[Angie Yao @Angieyyao]

2/ To save her lover Mario, a fiery Tosca fakes compliance~only to stab the villainous Scarpia the second she gets the safe-conduct pass. She rushes to tell Mario to play along with a "fake execution."

Cotton candy skies of pink and blue. Beyond soft. 🩵🩷 #NJ #NYC

“Here’s looking at you, kid.” 🍸
Taking it slow tonight at our favorite Moroccan spot.
A sweet & savory apricot chicken, spicy green charmoulla lamb shank, and a refreshing Violet Hour.
Major Casablanca vibes tonight 🇲🇦✨

🎭 Medea | Classical melancholy & the aesthetics of destruction.

[Angie Yao @Angieyyao]

5/ Intertwined with lightning, roaring flames, and tragic laughter, the finale pushes tragic aesthetics to its absolute peak.

[Angie Yao @Angieyyao]

4/ The emotional arc is breathtaking: from the bittersweet pleas in "Dei tuoi figli la madre" (Act I), to the rare tender breeze of the bassoon & maid duet in "Solo un pianto" (Act II), leading to the peak frenzy before infanticide in "Del fiero duol" (Act III).

[Angie Yao @Angieyyao]

3/ Above the stage, a massive tilted metal mirror reflects the characters' distorted shadows, driving the psychological oppression and sense of fatalism to the max.

[Angie Yao @Angieyyao]

2/ Cherubini’s score balances the rigorous Classical structure revered by Beethoven with a dark, pre-Romantic fury born of Medea’s madness and revenge.

[Angie Yao @Angieyyao]

Rained all day, but 4:30 PM brought the ultimate surprise 🌧️🌈
Haven’t seen a rainbow this big in ten years! Instant happiness🥳

[Angie Yao @Angieyyao]

3/ My favorite is the sunset around 4:30 PM, when the entire island is bathed in a warm golden glow. Sitting on the amphitheater steps for a bit to catch the river breeze 💛🩵

Autumn at #LittleIsland is perhaps the most exquisite splash of vibrant color along the NYC waterfront 🍂

2/Up on The Hills, maples and beeches have already donned amber gold and deep ochre red, their interwoven red-and-gold crowns colliding beautifully with the glass facade of One WTC in the distance.
