I love the music of Mozart and it was exciting being in Salzburg and exploring the city and homes (Geburtshaus und Wohnhaus) where he was born, grew up, and created many of his masterpieces.

The Met Live in HD
I like going to Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HD movie theatre transmissions. It’s not as rewarding as attending a live opera, but it’s a good way for me to see current productions without driving to L.A.
Lyric Opera Stars Shine!
The Stars of Lyric Opera concert last night was a memorable evening, marking the start of Lyric Opera of Chicago’s upcoming 57th season. Held at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, the free outdoor event attracted a full-capacity crowd, all eager to experience a night of operatic brilliance under the stars. Renée Fleming, newly appointed as Lyric’s creative consultant, served as both headliner and host. The evening featured a stellar lineup of performers, including Matthew Polenzani, James Morris, Susanna Phillips, and Jamie Barton. The Lyric Opera Orchestra, under the baton of French conductor Emmanuel Villaume, provided the musical accompaniment for the evening.
