Please CHECK YOUR SCHEDULE before you respond to make certain that you can go if you are selected.
The opera is "Manon Lescaut", Giacomo Puccini's third opera and the one that catapulted him to international fame. The newspaper review of its premier in 1893 described how the audience was "stunned and overcome with emotion".* The review continued, "Manon is the work of [a] genius … master of his art. … Puccini's genius is truly Italian. His sonsg … caresses us and becomes part of us." The phenomenal Finnish soprano Karita Mattila sings the lead, and the Met's Music Director, James Levine, is conducting (the only time we hear him this year).
If you would like to attend, please submit your name to Prof. Henrich by e-mail BEFORE 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 27. Names will be selected by RANDOM DRAWING and the students notified later Sunday evening.
