The Met rings in the new year with a gala performance featuring a dazzling quartet of Met stars, accompanied by Céciel Restier (piano) and The Vienna Morphing Quintet. The New Year’s Eve Gala program includes arias, duets, and ensembles from Donizetti to Puccini, as well as arrangements of operetta and Neapolitan songs. The ornate Parktheater, a marvel of glass and cast-iron, opened in 1886 and was designed to evoke the English pleasure gardens of the 18th and 19th centuries. It is a stunning example of neo-Baroque architecture situated in Augsburg, Germany.
"The Met's virtual New Year's Eve Gala largely accentuated the positive with a program of perky, upbeat excerpts sung by the truly stellar quartet of Angel Blue, Javier Camarena, Matthew Polenzani and Pretty Yende." (Opera News)
