The Theater of Disappearance As you step out onto the roof you enter what appears to be the aftermath of a very over the top party! Argentinian artist Adrián Villar Rojas has transformed the Cantor Roof with an intricate site-specific installation that uses the Museum itself as its raw material. Featuring detailed replicas of nearly 100 objects from The Met collection, The Theater of Disappearance encompasses thousands of years of artistic production over several continents and cultures, and fuses them with facsimiles of contemporary human figures as well as furniture, animals, cutlery, and food. Each object—whether a 1,000-year-old decorative plate or a human hand—is rendered in the same black or white material and coated in a thin layer of dust. The artist has reconfigured the environment of the Cantor Roof by adding a new pergola, a grand tiled floor, a bar, public benches and augmented planting throughout the space. The Met's own alphabet has even been incorporated into the graphic identity of the project. To realize this extensive work, the artist immersed himself in the Museum and its staff for many months, holding conversations with the curators, conservators, managers, and technicians across every department who contributed to the realization of this installation. THE MET The artist's combination of classic art pieces placed into another reality was very interesting. I tried to determine where each sculpture used in the exhibit was located inside the museum. That will take another visit to begin to solve. I love the spectacular view of Central Park and the Manhattan Skyline! Afterward we visited Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh and Rodin before heading off to Jean Georges restaurant "The Mark"!
Lunch was delicious and service perfect! Now off to Bergdorf Goodman for more NYC sunny Sunday fun!

SoNo Baking Company & Café embodies the authenticity of an artisanal bakery, the warmth of a neighborhood coffee house and eatery, and the sophistication of a from-scratch quality kitchen that offers exceptional catering. John personally designed the open kitchen and bakery, which provides a view of hearth bread being baked in a deck oven imported from Italy, the art of beautifully decorated cakes, and the construction of delicate pastries - all on display for guests to see. SoNo Baking Company is a strong supporter and fixture on the local Famers' Market scene and their bread and pastries can also be enjoyed at Fairfield County’s finest restaurants and markets.

David said flutes are wonderful for watching bubbles rise, but if you want exposure to all that sparkling wine has to offer, serve it in a traditional wine glass instead of a stately flute.

About Troupers: When Fred Scharmer returned from World War II, he told his wife, Ida, that he wanted to experience a different type of drama than that he had known on the battlefield, and had the idea of starting an acting group. She had been playing and singing Gilbert and Sullivan with the Guild of Seven Arts, and before the war they had both performed with the Little Theater of Noroton. They agreed to found a new group with Ida finding the women and Fred, the men, and in 1946 Troupers Light Opera began performing in homes throughout Darien. By 1950 Troupers had become so popular that they recruited members of the Norwalk Symphony for the orchestra and began building sets for the performances. Today Troupers is a large enterprise, encompassing an orchestra nearing 40 and more than 50 performers and backstage personnel. Talented performers from throughout the tri-state area audition, and Troupers welcomes new members.
The Finale!
Click to buy tickets for the closing weekend Sat 04/08 7:30P & Sun 04/09/17 2:30P! Thank you Troupers Light Opera for a wonderful time with Gilbert & Sullivan's "H.M.S. Pinafore"! "It!" Woman Kyle

We also headed down to lesser known Livermore Valley to visit Wente Vineyards. Wente is the oldest family owned winery in California, dating back to 1883. I found it interesting that 75% of all California Chardonnay wines are derived from the Wente Clone which creates grapes that perform well in this terroir (land characteristics, sun and overall environment). In the picture below, we are enjoying a wine class where you learn to identify the aromas of what you are tasting. Is it mushroom or is it cork? Is it butterscotch or is it vanilla or is it coconut? Toward the end of the class there was a contest to decipher nine specific aromas. I thought the butterscotch was vanilla, and did not win, but it was great fun and put our noses to test! Afterward we had a delightful time with even more wine around the fire pit. |
