Due to covid protocols, Juilliard's spring main stage opera, L'Elisir d'amore, by Donizetti, had specific spacing rules to navigate (12 ft apart when singing), and all the cast were masked for the performance. However! Director John Giampietro added such fun and surprise to his NYC subway staging of this piece, the singers were able to shine, even from the nose up! Anna assisted John, helping him keep his vision clean, and she was also responsible for the choreography to depict motion on the subway. Despite the rules, an excellent and bright time for all involved. Full production available to view: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlot8DqQVNo
