Puccini 150th

Posted at 8:28 AM on December 22, 2008 by Rex Levang (1 Comments)

Ten years ago, we put together a Web page on the opera Tosca by Giacomo Puccini. Little did we realize it would turn out to be one of our more popular offerings--year after year, Web visitors drop in to read the story, see the production photos, and even check out the recipes.

Today is Puccini's 150th birthday--so here's a shameless plug for the Tosca Page.

Whoa! Awesome retro website! The libretto renders oddly in my browser - but this site's longevity is a testament to the fact that google loves all that yummy text to snack on!

1998 - man. Ancient internet history, no?
