Watch Your Back, Renee Fleming!

Here's why I love living in New York. My daughter Emma's school has an arts partnership with the Metropolitan Opera, and yesterday they staged a performance of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. A member of the Met Opera Guild spent ten weeks with Emma's kindergarten class: they wrote their own songs, created sets, costumes etc..

Emma took her role as a "medium sized billy goat" very seriously, and talked about it for weeks. Here's a pic of her, mid-performance.


And the parent paparazzi.
