Prends Garde à Toi!

I hopped on a 10:32 train from New Haven to Grand Central Terminal to catch the New York City Opera production of Carmen. My train arrived at about 12:15, which gave me time for a leisurely stroll up Fifth Avenue and through Central Park to Lincoln Center just in time for the 1:30 curtain.

The Bizet opera contains several very familiar melodies, such as the Prélude (overture), the Toréador Song, and the Habanera:

a theme which will now be in my head for the rest of the week, no doubt.

The production wrapped up about 4:30, so I took the subway back to Grand Central for the 5:07 back to the Elm City so I could return to Mem House just in time for duty at 7:30.
