May 22 Virtual Happy Hour
Join us on Zoom this Friday, May 22, at 6:30PM EDT for an exclusive Fridays Under 40 virtual happy hour before the evening’s free Nightly Met Opera Stream of Don Giovanni. Prior to the classic 1978 telecast of Mozart’s dark comedy, Met favorites Ailyn Pérez and Soloman Howard will join assistant conductor Bryan Wagorn to discuss performing Mozart’s music, take your questions, and kick off the long weekend in truly operatic style. RSVP here.
