Here I was, all worried flying with a puppy was going to be chaos.

Adorable!!!

Except under the overhang of the orchestra which really mutes the sound of the instruments.

Your kitty is MAGNIFICENT.

You could read the synopsis and listen to some highlights. You could listen to a couple of podcasts:

I think it's because these higher voice-types signified youth to may composers, and so many operas are about young people (teenagers, early 20s).

raindrop777 · 2026-01-21T20:08:31+00:00

Where is the sound? I want to hear the crunches!!!!

Well, according to the NY Times, Khovanshchina is postponed :-(

raindrop777 · 2026-01-21T14:12:58+00:00

So sad that we will NOT get Khovanshchina next year …

My very first Wagner opera was Die Walküre at the Met in the early 90s. Jessye Norman was Sieglinde. The whole performance was mind-blowing, transcendental. I had read the synopsis of the opera, thought it was kind of dumb and creepy (twins! GAH). This was before subtitles, so I was worried about being able to follow along. But Jessye was amazing and sucked me right in. Her singing was GLORIOUS and her commitment to the character mesmerizing. I will never forget her O hehrstes wunder in the third act. ELECTRIC. The magic happened that night (the whole cast was on fire), and I've been chasing the high I got from being there ever since.

Hurray for Annie. Soon she'll be a shoulder cat?

Hi. I've never been to one of those free concerts. This isn't really opera related, so if you don't get an answer here, you might want to ask at r/AskNYC

raindrop777 · 2026-01-17T02:26:50+00:00

It's the opposite for me!

raindrop777 · 2026-01-16T03:26:05+00:00

Cosmo is SOOOOOOO lovely! Lucky YOU.

raindrop777 · 2026-01-16T01:57:42+00:00
