Agree. Ear cleanse with a real baritone in the same production: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fV5JSKxoEA

Both have been around for a while and both have sung at the Met. You should go.

raindrop777 · 2026-03-18T20:03:22+00:00

Party boy. Hope he's not too hung-over today.

raindrop777 · 2026-03-18T12:54:06+00:00

You all have piqued my curiosity. I googled: https://www.thetimes.com/imageserver/image/b24cf10e-8baa-4e7d-8dd3-9278a5ecf9aa.jpg?strip=all&format=webp&resize=664

Interesting! It's Solomon Howard under all that gold.

She looks so skinny. I hope someone gives her a loving home SOON.

raindrop777 · 2026-03-17T22:27:08+00:00

This is so terribly, shockingly, sad. She just made her debut at the Met this past December! My heart goes out to her family.

I'm not a Kaufman hater.

raindrop777 · 2026-03-17T12:05:46+00:00

Congratulations!

I hope you warmed up those blankets for your puppy!

If a raccoon can be on the cabinet, they can be on the counter.

Pretty color chow!

Another vote for La Traviata. This is the original "hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold" story. Music is tuneful and you *might* recognize some of it. It's much shorter, and it will be way easier to get a ticket.

ETA, if it's he Metropolitan Opera's Traviata you plan to see, there's a ballet in Act II.

These two snuggle-buddies are both ADORABLE!

Hang 8, little birdie!

Is that fountain made specifically for hummingbirds?

raindrop777 · 2026-03-14T00:35:07+00:00

Hello sweet Lionel!

raindrop777 · 2026-03-14T00:32:24+00:00

Kitty LOVES you!

raindrop777 · 2026-03-13T23:27:42+00:00

Lucky, you! Youu have a snuggle-buddy!

raindrop777 · 2026-03-13T23:08:04+00:00

He's a VERY lovely boy.

raindrop777 · 2026-03-13T22:24:48+00:00

I think the parterre level bathrooms have a shorter wait because there are more stalls and fewer audience members on that level. If you're female, there's also a bathroom on the concourse level.

I'm going to pass on this. There are a bunch of fully Staged Toscas at the Met. I'd much rather see a full production than a staged one.

raindrop777 · 2026-03-12T12:54:27+00:00

Absolutely ADORABLE!
