I shot this cell phone video while sitting in the mezzanine a few minutes before a performance in November, 2017.
According to Wikipedia, "Sybil Buckingham Harrington (1908-98) was born in Amarillo, Texas, the granddaughter of J. E. Hughes, a prominent pioneer in the Texas Panhandle. In 1980, Mrs. Harrington made a gift of $20 million to the Metropolitan Opera endowment fund campaign. In acknowledgement of her extraordinary generosity, the company named the house's auditorium after her."
