Chaumet est une fête

A hint of originality, a European outlook, ultimate sophistication and constant modernity characterise the spirit of New York’s Metropolitan Opera, the Upper West Side’s venerable institution.
In the foyer, Marc Chagall’s softly coloured murals play a harmonious duo. The famous American opera house offers a joyful journey through music and poetry with its diverse repertoire; from Richard Wagner to George Gershwin and Philip Glass. The virtuosity of the artists who have performed there transcends time and memory; David Hockney’s new scenography for the Magic Flute in 1991 is one of many visionary instances. At the pulpit, exceptional conductors, such as James Levine, set the pace of excellence.
