This afternoon I saw a special benefit performance of Where the Wild Things Are at New York City Opera.
It wasn't a full production, but a concert performance. The orchestra was on stage, and the singers performed on platforms in the back. Most fantastic, however, were the projections of wonderful, vibrant art by Rush Kids and Teens. These fantastical, whimsical, and surprisingly complex images made the whole event really come alive.
Samples of their art work was on display in the promenade, and I snapped this photo, which unfortunately does not do justice to the rich colors the artist used.
The music was great, and Danya Katok, who sang Max was delightful. The orchestra was conducted by Julien Kuerti.
