The entertainment world was represented in full force at Monday night’s Metropolitan Opera season opener at Lincoln Center.
Before Anna Netrebko took the stage for her performance in Anna Bolena, model Tyra Banks, musician Maxwell, and actresses Christine Baranski, Archie Panjabi and Leelee Sobieski walked the red carpet.
While the stars attended the event, opera fans without a celebrity name could watch the performance on multiple screens in Times Square, where 2,000 seats were available for the free screening.
Maxwell explained his appreciation for the art form.
“It’s the ultimate experience. For me, the opera is the very first idea of seeing a show. It takes so much technique and discipline to do what these people do. To really get to experience that and get my A-game together is what this is about for me,” he said.
