………………………..I would venture a guess that there aren’t many people still alive who even went to the “Old Met”. Certainly the generations that followed me, even my generation didn’t know it existed because it was torn down when we were all 17 and 18…nor did they care…..All of this wonderful history and architecture gone….Can you imagine what went on in that building…..the singers and the intrigue!!!……..I thought this piece of New York history was worth “Taking a LOOK BACK”.
Hi Louis,
I’m still alive. Went to the “Old Met”, because my stepmother decided I should see it before it was torn down. She was an art major and worked at Ohrbach’s as a buyer. I don’t remember much, but the opera was “Manson Lescaut”. I remember more from Alan Freed’s Rock and Roll concert, the police presence and dancing in the aisles. We wore little white gloves.
Thanks for reminding me of my past.
Martha
