On its side, another icon of North American modern architecture to keep MET Opera company:<strong> the\u00a0Philip Johnson&#8217;s David Koch Theatre<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the magic box, red soft tapestry on walls and floors, sparkling enormous Swarovsky chandeliers dropping down a vast ceiling covered in gold foil, <span lang=\"en\">sinuous and gentle marbled staircases welcomed me and thousand of other spectators toward the auditorium to our seats.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\"><strong>The atmosphere was so powerful and sacred<\/strong> that I felt\u00a0overwhelmed by such beauty\u00a0forgetting for a moment why I was actually there.

It was my first ever time at the opera and I had no idea that it was split in 4 acts, making it longer than expected,\u00a0especially for the old lady seating next to me who sometimes accompanied singers performances\u00a0with her snoring\u00a0skills ;-). Although, the play\u00a0was magic as its place and I will never forget this special birthday of mine.<\/p>\n<div class='_form_264'><\/div><script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/architect-us.activehosted.com\/f\/embed.php?static=0&id=264&69DF5B572A3CE&nostyles=0&preview=0'><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5th of December 2019.
