I'm back in CA for my best friend's wedding, so my New York life will have to wait for me until I return on Saturday.
Still, I can love the opera from afar, and relish in its successes! The 2011-2012 season at the Met Opera has been hit and miss, according to the New York Times, but I was happy to read this morning's glowing article about the Met's new production of Khovanschchina:

I could have done with out the jab at Millipeid's choreography toward the end of the article, because I have dancer friends in this show. In any case, this review has gotten me excited, so I'll have to see this new opera (written by Mussogorsky and arranged by two of my favorites, Shostakovich and Stravinsky) as soon as possible!
Oh, and hooray for our new Don Giovanni, Gerald Finley, in his concert at Alice Tully! Wish I could have seen him:

Happy Leap Year, everyone!
Cheers,
A Broadway Baby
