Last night, in 90 degree humidity, Meridita and I made the awkward trek to the lovely and tucked away Brooklyn Bridge Park to hear a Metropolitan Opera recital.
The
singers were Danielle de Niese, Dimitri Pittas, and John Del Carlo.
They were all wonderful! In addition to having beautiful voices, they
were all charismatic light-hearted performers, with a very welcoming and
friendly stage presence.
The program was very full, about two hours long, with an intermission. The first act featured several arias and duets from Don Pasquale, as well as selections from Le Nozze di Figaro and La Boheme,
among others. The second act was fabulous, but they changed the program
from what's listed, and I can't remember what they performed.
The
view behind the stage was beautiful. Right on the East River, we were
treated to a stunning New York skyline. This picture of us was snapped
by Pittas and posted on facebook. Meridita, Rachel and I are in there
somewhere!
