We're anticipating today's first @metorchestra rehearsal of the Act III #bacchanale from #samsonetdalila with @metoperaballet!

Bravi, and Toi³ to @austinmccormickxiv & the present day #ballet for today's rehearsal!
We've started staging @nicomuhly's #marnie!

We started staging #samsonetdalila today at @metopera with director #darkotresnjak! One of his influences for the character of Dalila (and the lacy set) is this portrait of #gloriaswanson by photographer #edwardsteichen -- "hidden behind lace, beautiful, and looks like she could kill you..." We had a great session staging the entire first scene with @metoperasupers @metoperaballet @kristianbenedikt & @elchinazizov and we're looking forward to seeing @elina.garanca & @robertoalagna.tenor soon! #openingnight
