Shabbat concert and more rain

We walked up to the Israeli opera house for the "Italian Songs" concert.  It was excerpts of Italian composers' (Donizetti, Puccini, Verdi) arias.  It was very nice, and well-attended.  The accompaniment was on an 8 ft piano, and the singers were more or less in costume.
And then it rained briefly but significantly in the late evening.

P.S. We didn't need to look for three stars to know when Shabbat was over because there was a well-organized and very noisy gay rights protest at the entrance to the Carmel shuk, which is easily observed from our porch.  It thankfully moved on after about thirty minutes.
