As most of you know, the Met simulcasts operas on big screens around the nation (and in Canada) on a regular basis. On Wednesday, January 16, there will be an encore performance of Aida. For the following reasons, I think we should all make the effort to go and see it:
1. It is one of the most popular operas of all time
2. It is one of the few performances we can all enjoy together
3. It is significantly cheaper than flying to New York to see it live
The Met in HD website and schedule can be found here. The performance will be broadcast at 6:30 local time, so we should all be home from work by then. The last Met in HD I saw, Nixon in China, cost $20.
I think this is a great idea. I'm happy to help coordinate Houston. Do people what to have dinner before or coffee after?
ReplyDeleteBread thanks for suggesting. It turned out to be a great evening. Because of a technical difficulty, Aaron and I got to see the first act twice!
