Can someone explain what the word "anticipation" means here? I don't understand if it's Straisand's appearance at the Village Vanguard or someone else's.
Ms. Streisand, who lives in Malibu, California, was in New York in anticipation of a recent one-night-only appearance at the Village Vanguard, the jazz club. But the big event for Streisand fans is Ms. Streisand’s latest album, “Love Is the Answer.”
Top answer
Here, 'in anticipation of' means 'in preparation for'. She is in NY because she has a concert appearance there soon.
