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

Starting our second week of rehearsals today for the 2018/19 season at @metopera! It's a potpourri of sorts with #Maestro #donaldpalumbo at the helm. We separate into men's and women's hours, and meet in the middle for #tutti rehearsals. So far we've had tastes of #marnie #samsonetdalila #mefistofele #carmen #lafanciulladelwest #suorangelica #tosca #themagicflute #latraviata #aida #lespêcheursdesperles and this week we do much of the same, plus #iolanta #iltabarro #labohème. Looking forward to a varied and fulfilling season...join us! (📸 by new chorister, Baritone #jonathonscott)
