Correction: This segment has been updated to include a photo of dancer Dianne McIntyre, who was misidentified in a photo when this piece aired. We regret the error.

History is being made Monday night at The Metropolitan Opera — one of the country’s most important cultural organizations — and for several of the artists involved. Jeffrey Brown has a preview for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
