Set in one of the most untamed regions on earth, the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, African Cats is comprised of three separate segments.
With its cataclysmic climax, the Met’s new Ring cycle, directed by Robert Lepage, comes to its resolution.



Coming in February!
Angela Meade takes center stage in Verdi’s thrilling early gem. Salvatore Licitra is her mismatched lover, and all-star Verdians Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Ferruccio Furlanetto round out the cast.
The exhibition brings together the largest ever number of da Vinci’s paintings, including a new, never-before-seen Leonardo painting.






Anna Netrebko’s dazzling portrayal of the tragic heroine in Laurent Pelly’s new production travels to the Met from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.

Natalie Dessay will put on the red dress in Willy Decker’s stunning production, in her first Violetta at the Met. Matthew Polenzani sings Alfredo, Dmitri Hvorostovsky is Germont, and Principal Guest Conductor Fabio Luisi is on the podium.
Don’t miss our local “stars” as they compete to raise money for The Grand’s program fund. Our third annual event will sell out early so buy your tickets now to reserve a seat among the Stars.
Don’t miss out on this highly entertaining show! The Chinese Acrobats will bring an amazing, fantastic, and colorful show.
This award-winning, highly entertaining and educational show will allow the students to meet some of the world’s most exciting and fascinating Rainforest animals from the safety of their seats.
