Metropolitan Opera at Home - Saariaho's L'Amour De Loin. May 6, 2020.

Due to COVID-19, we have had a lock-down of various degrees of severity since early/mid-March.  The Met has been putting out one opera per evening since then, access to which is free.

As I write this (August 8), I realized that I have not been too keen to see them.  Live performances are just a lot more appealing, evidently.

Performance Date - December 10, 2016.

Conductor - Susanna Malkki.
