A few weeks ago, I saw Grounded on opening night at the Metropolitan Opera and documented my experience through a series of photos and videos. Using this footage, I recorded a 30-second recap video that was posted to the Metropolitan Opera Education Department’s Instagram page ahead of the Live in HD transmission of the opera. This is the first of what I hope will be many collaborations between me and the Met as I continue my mission of making opera cooler and more accessible to all.
The caption reads: "Take a look back at Opening Night with NYC high school student @alkarmpa as we gear up for the Live in HD transmission."
Here's the link—I hope you enjoy it! Be sure to leave a comment if you have any ideas for future content. :)
Θερμά συγχαρητήρια για την ενασχόληση και μάλιστα σε βάθος με την Λυρικη τέχνη, ένα τόσο σύνθετο και απαιτητικό είδος που απαιτεί γνώσεις σε πολλούς τομείς. Είναι πολύ παρήγορο για εμάς τους λάτρεις της όπερας να βλεπουμε τόσο νεαρά άτομα να ασχολουνται υπεύθυνα και να προσελκύσουν ένα συνεχώς ανανεουμενο κοινο. Συνεχίστε με την ίδια ορμή!!!
Congratulations Alkis! Your enthusiasm is contagious. May many young men and women take an interest in the opera - perhaps the highest form of musical creation - and follow your footsteps in the grand operatic halls.
