Fall in New York is filled with elegant evenings including gala, preview parties, shows, ballets and – opera! Let the culture commence and flow all over.

The Young Associates Season Preview Party hosted their annual evening on September 17th at the Metropolitan Opera where guests were greeted by champagne or a Stoli cocktail.

The festive party opened with a welcome from the Chair of the Young Associates Program, So-Chung Shinn Lee and Met General Manager Peter Gelb and graced by a warm performances by members of the Met’s Lindemann Young Artist Development Program.

The evening was in efforts of launching the new season and new production of Mozart’s “Le Nozze di Figaro” which opened this past Monday evening.

We were able to mix and mingle with some of New York City’s elite young professionals who are philanthropists and cultural enthusiasts in the arts. Swag bags included goodies from Godiva, Essie, and AmorePacific.

Tickets are available on http://www.metopera.org/.
