NYC opera goers: What will you do for the next few weeks when the Met is dark? | The Intermission of the Soul

The lights go out at Lincoln Center. The great machine pauses. You feel the vacuum.

The "Dark Period" is not a void; it is a space. It is time to explore. It is time to consume Art in different forms—museums, jazz clubs, silence. If you only love Opera when the Met is open, explore another art form like ballet!

The Sovereign Solution:

1. Go Broad: Find young artist programs, university production, ballets, the recitals. That is where the future is being written.

2. The Silent Retreat: Use the break to reset your ears. Read the libretto.

3. Create: Time to do! Use the free evenings to work on your own artistry.
