Met on Great Lawn

This evening the Metropolitan Opera played selections from Saint-Saens’ Samson et Delilah on the Great Lawn. The New York City representative for Parks and Recreation came on stage at the start to annouce "on behalf of New York city Mayor, Mike Bloomberg, I now declare the heatwave over!" It was a bit on the chilly side actually...
