Puccini's TOSCA




You should see it yourself:
These crummy pictures can never convay
the absolute Magnificense of this work
and the treatment afforded it by the
Bregenz Festivals.

More of TOSCA





More scenes of this Opera, which some say
was Giacomo Puccini's finest work.

T O S C A on the stage in the lake.


An Advertising Colum of the Opera
in Lindau

If you know "Tosca"
no explanation of this stage picture is required
If you don't. Google it.

Another part of the Scenery.

The swing stage with the Lead on it
should give you an idea of the dimensions
used in this production.

More of "Lindau"

A night shot
from my balcony.











This was my room!
Yes, all three parts
are one room.
Balcony runs the
entire length.
Getting this room
was a total shock
and surprise.
Gladys and I occupied
this room in 1990.
I have pictures from then
to prove it.

...enough already...

I can just hear you groan:
"Not another picture
of a mountain"
saints preserve us...
two more.!!!
What would you do
if you had
two pictures like those?

Keep'em for yourself?
Not bloomin' likely.

higher and higher

more hairpin turns
steep drop offs
at curves
take you into
the high country.
