Are you excited for a classy day out at the opera? We’re taking a group to enjoy the famous Die Zauberflöte during this holiday season! Join a group of international students for this visit to Lincoln Center. More about the opera below:

 

Simon McBurney’s uproarious full-length German-language production of Mozart’s beloved fable—with its ingenious theatrical concoction of projections, puppetry, and special effects—returns to the Met stage following its celebrated 2023 premiere. Tenor Ben Bliss and soprano Golda Schultz are the noble lovers Tamino and Pamina, and baritone Thomas Oliemans repeats his animated portrayal of the outlandish bird catcher Papageno. Soprano Kathryn Lewek reprises her hair-raising turn as the Queen of the Night, Stephen Milling is the priest Sarastro, and Evan Rogister conducts.

Want to go hiking and check out a small town along the Hudson river?

 

After riding a scenic train from Grand Central, we’ll walk to the trailhead. The hike will be challenging, depending on your prior experience. It’s around 6 miles and will take roughly 4 hours including breaks. It’s in a wooded area that’s steep at times, so please wear suitable outdoor shoes, long pants, and bring a lot of water. Along our route, we will see ruins of the Cornish Estate and an old abandoned quarry.

 

Afterwards, we will explore the town of Cold Spring. From quaint antique shops, cafes, and a lovely waterfront, you’ll see all that is has to offer before returning to the city!

 

Ticket does not include lunch or your train ticket. We encourage you to bring lunch and eat it when we reach the top of the mountain. Happy trails!
