The Met rings in the new year with a gala performance featuring a dazzling quartet of Met stars – sopranos Angel Blue and Pretty Yende, and tenors Javier Camarena and Matthew Polenzani – live from the Parktheater im Kurhaus Göggingen, in Augsburg, Germany, a stunning example of neo-Baroque architecture. The program will include arias, duets, and ensembles from Gaetano Donizetti to Giacomo 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.
The livestream will take place at 4pm Eastern / 1pm Pacific.
The New Year’s Eve Gala is part of the Met’s fundraising campaign to support the company and protect its future. In addition to the regularly priced concert tickets, Gala Committee packages with enhanced benefits are available at a range of donation levels.
