Bravi tutti! We're sad to see Donizetti's THE DAUGHTER OF THE REGIMENT march away tonight, but we'd like to give our amazing cast, chorus, orchestra, Maestra, crew, and creative team a round of applause for the love and laughter. 📷 : Michael Brosilow

The first time @Lisette_Oropesa sang, I swooned. Every time thereafter she brought tears to my eyes. A pleasure, a privilege, to be able to hear such singing. @LyricOpera
