Logged in, saw pizza, logged out.
I just got my copy of Turandot from Amazon, so I've been watching the San Francisco Opera performing one of Puccini's better operas tonight.
I saw it "live" last month here ( San Francisco ) as well
as an earlier staging in the early 90's.
This recent one was only so-so with Jane Eaglen as
Turandot. Had to imagine anyone risking death for
her

Also experienced Messiaen's Saint Francis D'Assise a couple
of weeks ago. All five hours of it! ( could have been done
in three, IMO ) Now THAT would be a video to brreak out
when the pizza map appears!

Won't be flying tonight until late...going to a performance
of Otello... ( should I add an "eat your heart out" here ? )

As for the pizza map...I really do not care for it at all.
MUCH too big ( a x2 step from "old" arenas would have
made more sense rather than x4 ) and the terrain is too
"unbelievable". Too much brown, overall, and far too great
a variation in elevations.
I'm all for some valleys and ridges...makes for great fights
but these "Grand Canyon" valleys are too deep and too
steep.
