Brunch at 11am
New Production!
Honeyed melody and humor abound in Puccini's late, comic opera tale of love between a worldly woman and a naïve, younger man. Opera's own, real-life pair of lovers—the ever- charismatic duo of soprano Angela Gheorghiu and tenor Roberto Alagna, who sang together in Prospect Park for the Met Opera's park concert in 2008 —star in this brand-new production by Nicolas Joël. Marco Armiliato conducts.
Brunch guest speaker: Fred Plotkin, author of Opera 101, A Complete Guide to Learning and Loving Opera
