Here's a #flashbackfriday to February last season: a #doubleheader for our new music director @nezetseguin @metorchestra and the @metopera company -- a #dressrehearsal of #Elektra & a performance of #Parsifal. Thank you @j_cervantes for this awesome shot of Maestro and 80 chorus men plus the @metoperaballet & @metoperasupers and principals onstage (there's another 50 of us in the domes and backstage!). #wagner #longsong #butsoworthit #fbf #Repost @j_cervantes ・・・ One day with Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the Met Opera’s new Maestro.

There's still time to watch "The Opera House" online at #greatperformancespbs (until June 8th). The great Leontyne Price and our very own @metoperasupers #richardholmes steal the show! Richard shares wonderful stories of both the "old" and the "new" Met, and Leontyne is as charming as ever, communicating her sense of wonder from opening night and singing a phrase (!) from #anthonyandcleopatra... It's a love letter to our beloved home. #ithoughtiwasgoingtodie #Repost @pbs ・・・ Drawing on rarely seen archival footage, stills and interviews, The Opera House chronicles the creation of the @MetOpera’s storied @LincolnCenter home. Don’t miss new #GreatPerformancesPBS tonight at 9/8c! . . . #PBS #MetOpera #LincolnCenter #opera #NYC #newyork #nychistory #metropolitanopera #operahouse #leontyneprice
Today we’re celebrating an alum of the Metropolitan Opera Children’s Chorus, Bryan Zaros. Read about his early #musiceducation singing with the @metkids at @metopera, and his rise to the podium as associate choirmaster at @stjohndivinenyc. Bravo @bryanzaros! #metfamily . You can find the article written by our own @saramheaton on the Chorus' website [link in bio☝️] under “Features Where are they now, Volume 1: Growing Up In The Met Family“ (Photo by @willcookphotography)

A #tbt to the #finaldress of #Cendrillon at @metopera -- what fun we had doing our #zombiedance to #Massenet's #LaFlorentine! We weren't perfect, but by #openingnight we had it. You'll see glimpses of @alice.coote as #PrinceCharming & #bradleygarvin as the #King plus @ktmangia @saramheaton @davidleighbass @annemarienonnemacher @nedhanlon @andreuhhpug @christina.t.anderson @manhattanbird @sethmalkin @catatthemet @thesunshinesprite @itsjeffsykes @misschiggie @metoperaballet & of course the playing of the fabulous @metorchestra (Video from #MetOpera)
Last week we had a fantastic party on the #GrandTier of @metopera to celebrate the retirement of these lovely choristers! It was a day of reminiscences, plenty of funny stories, a few tears for those who are no longer with us, and a bunch of great food! The food was a grand potluck, with a beautiful cake in the shape of the #MetOpera made by our own @chrisjsny1! The retirees honored were Ellen Lang, Juli McSorley, John Russell, Connie Green, Roger Crouthamel, John Shelhart, Elaine Young, Sven Leaf, Bernie Waters, Gregory Lorenz & Charlotte Philley. We also commemorated the retirement of our Chorus Administrator Steve Losito & the life and career of chorister Garth Dawson with a speech by his widower Will Saive. Congratulations, everyone!
