Last night we heard the Mets’ production of Donizetti’s “La Fille du Régiment” with Alison and Dan. It was a snow date from the performance we missed a few weeks ago. Juan Diego Flórez was brilliant, as usual, but Diana Damrau stole the show as Marie. She has a beautiful voice, of course, and a great comedic talent. It’s a fun opera, and a great way to start kids.
Saturday we saw Liev Schreiber and Scarlett Johansson in Miller’s “A View from the Bridge” after a great dinner at Barbetta. Interesting parallels with “On the Waterfront” about informing and the HUAC era. Two thumbs up from us.
And, for this Friday, NJPAC is offering the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra doing an all Beethoven program—Symphony 7 and the Emperor Concerto. A pretty good week.
A pathetic iPhone pic from the Grand Tier of the Met at the end of the opera.
