A note from Steven: I have been working for the Metropolitan Opera in New York City as the ballet rehearsal pianist since 2013. I play ballet class daily for the dancers and I am surrounded by high art on a daily basis. How lucky I am to work for this opera company and to have access to such a wonderful music library. Opera melodies are the most exquisite and luxurious. If you aren’t familiar with the idiom, I welcome you to a new level of insight. I hope you enjoy working to this music as much as I enjoy playing it. Thanks to my dear friend, the late Whit Kellogg, for inviting me to be a part of the Metropolitan Opera. This is an experience I will always cherish.
