NYC marks one year anniversary of Russian invasion of Ukraine

The Metropolitan Opera marked the 1st year of Russia's war on Ukraine with “A Concert of Remembrance and Hope" that included Canadian mezzo-soprano Emily D’Angelo wearing a skirt with a tally mark for each day of the war. Ukraine First Lady Olena Zelenska addressed the crowd in a prerecorded video speech. Met music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducted Ukrainian tenor Dmytro Popov and bass-baritone Vladyslav Buialskyi and South African soprano Golda Schultz and D’Angelo in the Mozart Requiem and Beethoven's Fifth Symphony.
