I bet they won't bother with English sub/supertitles. Do you know the story at all?
Nope!* But I am going to get the libretto from the library so I can follow along.
*Until skimming the Wikipedia summary last night, I thought Tosca was a dude. Probably because I was thinking of Toscanini.
"If you are driving NORTH on the PCH, then the ocean is NOT to your right." ?
Well, first off, delete "the". Other than that you are correct. If you are driving north on PCH the ocean is on your left.
If you are driving north on LSD, the lake is on your right.
Sometimes I briefly forget which body of water I am near and think I am going the wrong way.
I will not slap at the fic author, I will not slap at the fic author, I will not slap at the fic author.

Occasionally I'll be on the shore of Lake Michigan and get my directions reversed. Once I got on a bus going the wrong direction. It was an express bus so it took me miles in the wrong direction....
Ooh. I lived in San Francisco, where the big body of water was to the West. I can blame that on my confusion....

Yeah, not so much.
t will not go all opera geek at the new recruit
Laga is right about losing "the". I didn't catch it. Whereas I am a typical SoCal person in referring to the 10, the 210, the 405, I would refer to Pacific Coast Hwy as PCH. But I don't live out that way so I guess I was entertaining the idea that beachers would have a different thing going.

If you are driving north on LSD, the lake fish sparkles one-with-the-divine god-gleam, hand trailing into the sunset. Dude!
Pfft. You Californians and your definite articles.
Sean, let me know when you get some free time and I'd love to chat.
Holy shitty, bonny. I hope you are overstating, but you don't strike me as one to overstate. Lots of ~ma and update us when you can.
I saw Tosca in Prague and didn't love it, but I am not an opera fan, was standing the whole 3 hrs (cheap seats), and starving. I saw Carmen in Budapest (box seat for under $10) and while Carmen was more brassy than sultry, it was very enjoyable and seeing the inside of the building was worth the price of admission by itself.
Mainly us Southern Californians. After decades away from California, I recently used a definite article in front of a Marin County native who got extremely pissy about it.
