The Metropolitan Opera kicked off the 2012–13 season with a swanky cocktail party for the young opera-loving crowd, complete with arias sung by members of the Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. Formed ten years ago, the Met’s Young Associates program has now grown to include nearly 500 members who explore the genre while mingling with fellow operaphiles through a series of educational and social events put on throughout the season, such as backstage brunches and preperformance receptions.
