We had the pleasure of participating in the Met's Spring Weekend last week by hosting a masterclass with Tristan himself, Michael Spyres!

Lindsay Martin, Ben Reisinger, Sunghoon Han, Mariam Bombrun, Ye In Kwak, and Michał Skowronek gave exceptional performances to a full crowd of Met Patrons and Laffont Competition supporters. Thank you, Michael, for sharing your expertise with us!

There are only three more opportunities to see Tristan und Isolde, on stage at the Met through April 4. Get your tickets to what the New York Times called "the event of the season" while you still can! Standing room tickets will be available for all performances and will go on sale at 10:00 AM EDT on the day of each remaining performance.
