Excited to get my cower on!

Just two more days until Puccini's Turandot opens for its season premiere at the Metropolitan Opera this Wednesday! I can't WAIT, and I'm obsessed with the fact that for a good amount of the time I get to crouch on stage to listen to the gorgeousness created by the principal singers.

(Note the cowering folk on the bamboo stairs in the image below. Yours truly will be in the huddle either stage left or house right).


Making magic here, people!!! This is art, performing diamonds of the first water.

Mondays and Wednesdays I tutor some of my students in the lobby of Avery Fischer Hall, which is adjacent to the Met Opera House.  Tonight, we had the pleasure of viewing some of the most elaborate and ridiculously garbed New Yorkers (and that's saying something, considering NY fashion week was only a few weeks ago) on their way to the opening night of the 2012-2013 season. My kid remarked that one lady must not have changed her fashion sense from the age of four years old (she literally looked like a hot pink cake with pink frosting wrapped around her... there was a hat too, a hideous thing with a white veil and GOLD CHROME HEELS I kid you not... oh and she was a grandma at least)/

Debut night for my Elisir chums! I know it's going to be stunning and gorgeous and can't wait to see it live!
