SANTA CLARA – Will the city of Santa Clara shake it off?On Friday, Taylor Swift’s concert at Levi’s Stadium ran past the venue’s 11 p.m. curfew. The ramifications were not immediately clear. She performed until 11:38 p.m.Curfews at Levi’s Stadium have been a source of controversy for years. But most of the fuss has centered on the 10 p.m. curfew in effect for weeknights, Sunday through Thursday.In 2017, Coldplay famously blew past the 10 p.m. curfew, which became a bone of contention between the city of Santa Clara and the 49ers, which manage the stadium. Team officials argued the 10 p.m. curfew was unreasonable. That same year, singer Ed Sheeran dropped Levi’s Stadium from his tour reportedly because of the 10 p.m. curfew.In 2021, the City Council voted 4-3 to allow weeknight curfew extensions until 11 p.m. for five non-NFL events a year. The curfew for Friday and Saturday events remained at 11 p.m.There have been no reports of the 11 p.m. Levi’s curfew being brok...

MADRID (AP) — On a night in the middle of July, tenors, sopranos and a choir delighted the crowd in Madrid’s luxurious Teatro Real opera house with Giacomo Puccini’s masterpiece, “Turandot.”After the curtain came down, the audience filed from their plush seats and left the theater’s state-of-the-art air conditioning for the summer swelter outside — only to be met again by the voices of Calaf and Princess Turandot.The performance they had just seen was being replayed on a giant television screen in the big square at the back of the theater.Here, the spectators sat on hundreds of plastic chairs. Many wore shorts and sandals. Others, tourists included, sat on the low walls and benches in the square or leaned on the barriers and the nearby subway station’s railings.Some chewed on rolls of Spanish jam, others played cards. But most were absorbed with the show on the 9- by 5-meter (30- by 16-foot) screen.The night was part of Teatro Real’s “opera week,” which for eight years has been prov...

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand went from Women’s World Cup darlings to the brink of elimination in a five-day span and its shot at advancing into the knockout round hinges on its Sunday match against Switzerland. Switzerland sits comfortably atop Group A following a win over the Philippines and a draw against Norway, and anything but a loss to New Zealand at Eden Park in Auckland would push La Nati through to the next round. New Zealand’s trek is far more perilous after the Football Ferns lost 1-0 to the Philippines, a tournament-newcomer. It was a massive letdown for New Zealand, which opened the World Cup with a 1-0 win over Norway that captivated its nation.New Zealand and the Philippines are tied for second in Group A headed into Sunday’s games that determine which two teams advance. The Philippines play Norway at the same time New Zealand tries to advance to the knockout round for the first time in tournament history. It’s the fourth meeting be...

The Rangers, managed by former Padres skipper Bruce Bochy, lost for the fifth time in seven games but kept a two-game lead over Houston.“I was excited, man,” Musgrove said. “A lot of adrenaline.
