It's #finaldress day at @metopera for #themagicflute. We especially love days like this when we have @metoperastudent kids in the house! The #julietaymor production pulls out all the stops with @metoperaballet making the piece come alive, dancing with all sorts of #props, #costume pieces, #scenery and #puppets. And the audience is treated to a fantastic cast with @morleysoprano @mrbenbliss @nathangunn1 @kathrynleweksoprano @mdrbass @brenton_ryan with @harry_bicket leading the @metorchestra -- Toi toi toi all! If you have young ones coming to see the show, you can find these illustrated synopses on the #metopera website, under "discover" & "education". Performances run through Jan 5!

A generous artist in so many ways, @placido_domingo gave the chorus a bunch of delicious sweets from the Spanish confectionery, #1880. Thank you, Maestro, and #inboccaallupo for tonight's final #giannischicchi at @metopera! We love you and wish you and Marta a wonderful holiday season. See you in the new year for #latraviata and #aida! 😘😘

““The stars of the night, however, were the larger ensembles. The Met chorus always seems to be in a world of its own. A good one, that is. From the opening passage, “Dieu! Dieu d’Israël,” the voices rippled as one through the theater with immersive effect. ”
