Does Anyone Ever Get to Work for 9am, Anyway?

As a way to celebrate its 166th opening day, the New York Philharmonic is opening its morning dress rehearsal up to the public for free. Here are the details:

9:45AM: FREE Dress Rehearsal. Conducted by Lorin Maazel, with cello virtuoso Yo-Yo Ma; free tickets (along with discount coupons for future Philharmonic performances) will be distributed beginning at 8:00AM as the New York Philharmonic Principal Brass Quintet serenades you.

(thanks, Gothamist!)

Who's with me? FREE Philharmonic, y'all! Classical Music over your morning coffee. God, I love New York. I'm going to hit the sack now so I'll be ready for my 8am date with Yo-Yo.
