I could say a lot about the Met Opera’s current production of Anthony and Cleopatra, but hundreds of patrons decided at intermission last night that they’d had enough, so I’ll just leave it there.
I will say this: can we PLEASE have stories onstage that don’t feature women in sexual roles, or women being used as pawns for male power?
Of all the stories that could be told—why do we keep choosing the patriarchic viewpoint?
Another newish opera this afternoon, Golijov's Ainadamar. So glad the Met is giving us the chance to see these works!
The Met's Grounded has been getting mixed reviews, but I figured I should see for myself before the run is over.
And now we finish the day with the Met Orchestra up out of the pit and on Stern's stage with an interesting program
For the first show of my mother's trip to NYC, we're at the Met's final performance of the season, Orfeo ed Euridice
