NYC OPERA TRIP FALL 2014- HIGH ART: MACBETH

The Posse took another trip to Hi Art! Studios to prepare for the opera.  Through a performance by the London Opera of Macbeth, they had a chance to dive deeper into the plot and music of Macbeth.  They used art by Anselm Kiefer as inspiration for their project focusing on death and destruction.  An excellent time was had by all, however 2 hours was not enough time.
