Conducting for City Ballet is Andrew Litton's game
Setting the tempo and eyeing the stage, he's to blame
For bringing rare pieces to the concert hall
Capturing the essence of each dancer and draw
His work is a masterpiece of melodic art
That continues to captivate the

@SteveLemson I'd have to say I have more of a pedestrian appreciation for opera. I've been blessed with being able to see many #MetOpera performances (love the Family Circle tickets!) - always an amazing experience. I'm inclined toward Italian & French composers, with some favorites being Carmen and Bohème. Truly enjoyed the Met's 2022 setting of Rigoletto in 1950's Las Vegas. That said, really have gotten into #CityBallet in past several years - amazing artistry and music!
