These blurry shots are from the Vertical Player Repertory's production of Puccini's Il Tabarro. What set this production apart is clearly location, on board the Mary H. Whalen, moored at American Stevedorings piers.

We were happy just to get into this sealed off safety zone, let alone catch our first opera of the season.

The sound was surprisingly good for being open air. The opera itself, beautifully set and very well performed. But I am no opera critic, just a fan.

The sound of tugboats, and helicopters, at once a distraction, was also a reminder of our wacky environs.

We biked off back into the Redhook night, happy for the music, scenery, and memory.
