Now I know what I’ll be doing early next May.

Oh my stars. Just look at this:

The superb mezzo-soprano Lorraine Hunt Lieberson makes one of her very
rare operatic appearances as Orpheus in Gluck’s early masterpiece. Lisa
Milne is Euridice, whom Orpheus rescues from the underworld, and Heidi
Grant Murphy sings Amor, the spirit of Love.

The virtuoso Mark Morris directs and choreographs, and Allen Moyer (Twelve Angry Men and Reckless) designs the evocative sets in this first new production of Orfeo ed Euridice at The Met in over 35 years.

Lorraine Hunt Lieberson! Lorraine Hunt Lieberson singing Gluck! Lorraine Hunt Lieberson as Orfeo!

And, what’s more, I think I’ll be able to make it to New York to see her.

    Good gracious me. I wonder whether it’s worth buying an opera ticket now, and then watching the plane tickets like a hawk.
