Above, three of this year's Opera News Award honorees -- Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Riccardo Muti, and Jonas Kaufmann -- all looking grand at the NYC Plaza Hotel this past Sunday night, an intimate, black-tie event to present performance accolades to the opera industry's luminous stars. In its sixth consecutive year, guests included Francis Ford Coppola, Stephanie Blythe, Bryn Terfel, Patricia Racette, Patti LuPone, Barbara Cook, Renata Scotto, Bryn Terfel, Dmitri Hvorostovsky -- and no party is complete without one of those Wagner kids, Eva Wagner-Pasquier.
