In Northern Lower Michigan, The Metropolitan Opera Production of Richard Strauss' Opera "Der Rosenkavalier" can be seen at the State Theater in Traverse City. Tickets are stand-by only at this time. The Met is always a sell-out at the State.
We can thank local citizen Michael Moore for restoring the State Theater to to be one of the finest theaters in the US. The sound system is fantastic. The electronic projectors show a flawless picture including the satelite recption from the Met. The Theater is also the headquarters of the Traverse City Film Festival which has developed into one of the major film festivals in the United States. Michael knows how to get things done besides writing controversial books.
