This kills me to miss. It’s in conflict with the HD opera, Enchanted Isle–a new opera using music of Handel, Purcell and Vivaldi, and a plot adapted from two of Shakespeare’s plays. Many of us who have signed up for the Met will also be wanting to attend this–any chance of a Monday night reprise????
Darn! That makes at least two of us.
Three of us :-(
Be aware that the program is being given on Lopez & S.J. also. The ferry schedules work out, too. I’m planning for the Sun eve performance on S.J.
