She&#39;s fine to hear live sometimes but I don&#39;t need her recordings.<br /><br />Rush is for anybody - no age limit. Mon-Thurs, there are 150 orchestra seats available for $20. There are an additioanl 50 seats for seniors who call on the phone. If you&#39;re willing to wait on the line for 6 hours, more or less, the tickets are yours. Each person can buy two tickets.SarahBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01515476679981650807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19747701.post-63110686389797319752009-12-01T15:05:40.494-05:002009-12-01T15:05:40.494-05:00SarahB,<br /><br />I am indeed excited for the prospects of your evening. Patricia Racette has done an admirable portrayal of these three heroines before, and Aleksandrs Antonenko was excellent as the Prince in <i>Rusalka</i> last season.<br /><br />Have you heard Renee Fleming&#39;s rendition of <i>O mio babbino caro</i>? When I first relished it, I could not get past that first track on her self-titled disc. Amazon reviewers criticize her reading of the aria since she allegedly sings the notes longer than other sopranos do, but I think it is the perfect recording of it from my limited experience with it, and it is my opinion that she sings it better than Anna Netrebko does on her <i>Sempre Libera</i> album.<br /><br />Finally, is there an age limit on those who may procure rush tickets to Met performances, which is to ask must one show a student ID to procure them?<br />-Tyler.Tylerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17536805564835497095noreply@blogger.com
