Dating…Presto!
Posted on: July 1, 2010
Speed dating, singles mingle, blind dates…
There are single people everywhere looking to meet their match using bars, clubs, mutual friends and dating sites. Why not pair up in the lobby of the local concert venue or backstage at a recital hall?
The Met Opera offers Connect at the Met, which features special events where guests in different age groups have the chance to attend the opera and mingle with other singles during a pre-performance reception as well as a champagne dessert reception at intermission. What happens after the opera…is up to you 🙂
What could be better? Music, champagne and a chance to explore a culturally fulfilling evening with someone new! From the organizer’s point of view…ticket sales, another reason to outreach to a (perhaps) younger audience and an opportunity to cultivate an appreciate for classical music in (if all goes well) a young couple.
With an opera, it might even be fun to designate one small section of the hall on a certain evening for seat-swapping and have singles meet and sit with someone different for each act!
Puccini? Bizet? Rachmaninoff? A little Kreisler perhaps? Love is in the air…
