Metropolitan Opera (HD broadcast) 10/12/2011

Gounod : Faust

Metropolitan Opera Chorus and Orchestra
Yannick Nézet-Séguin

No concert review tonight...

... because there were no concerts.  Due to "adverse weather conditions" (it is pretty wild and woolly out there tonight), both the city's concert halls have been closed.  I was looking forward to this one too - Bartok's "Bluebeard's Castle" was on the agenda.  Oh well....

Next event (weather permitting!) : Saturday 10th December.
