Rehearsals for John Adams’s El Niño are in full swing, and we can’t wait to see this new production come to life! Enjoy these shots of soprano Julia Bullock, bass-baritone Davóne Tines, and countertenors Key’mon W. Murrah, Siman Chung, and Eric Jurenas in an early rehearsal.

Just a taste of the curtain call: #turandot Metropolitan Opera Roberto Alagna

Part of an interview I did about El Niño for the forthcoming Metropolitan Opera production. Nice to have this, but I hope this doesn't put too dark a spin on the piece, which is more about birth and hope, esp. in this new riotously joyful & colorful production by Lileana Blaine-Cruz

The crowd went wild! Thunderous applause after #nessundorma and again at his curtain call who? Roberto Alagna heard in the crowd: best production they’ve seen Metropolitan Opera #turandot

We’re more than ready to have this opera back on our stage—can you blame us? The revival of Terence Blanchard’s Fire Shut Up in My Bones opens next week, with bass-baritone Ryan Speedo Green leading a rockstar cast as Charles. Evan Rogister conducts.

The basics: his delivery of #nessundorma AND every note he sang was even better at today’s matinee. it’s a constant reminder that Mr. Alagna’s vocal technique and talents are creatively evocative, with precise nuance always perfectly delivered #turandot Metropolitan Opera #2
