Thus far this season (as of December 2023) we've seen La Boheme and The Magic Flute and have tix for CARMEN in January and Madame Butterfly in March. Breaking news: You don't have to love OPERA to love opera. You do have to love live full orchestra music, a spectacular production, and the magic of one of the premier performance venues Lincoln Center. People from all over the world come to New York for these productions. Select a popular opera. Listen to the music and read the story before you go. And be prepared to be enthralled.

The opera experience is very personal but last nights performance was clearly gur me one of the best I have heard in 40 years. Seguin had the orchestra on their best notes and the brilliantly edited polish script was novel and well received. Several new stars have been launched and the audience in an opening night were appreciative with rounds of applause and whistles etc The hall itself could use some needed revamping as usual noted many old patchy doors that have prevailed many years. It still was awe I souring and although the votives have risen a special night there is the ultimate nyc experience .

A life long New Yorker this was my first opera, I saw Puccini's Turandot and wow. The energy of the Met was palpable, the architecture of the building was stunning. What an amazing experience. Cannot recommend enough.

We had a wonderful time at the opera. There are drinks for purchase when you walk in. But you must finish them before you go into the auditorium area. The box seats are a little bit confusing to find and once you get there they are very small. Aside from that though they are relatively comfortable. The theater is beautiful. All of the musicians did a wonderful job.

Impressive mise-en-scène, artistic cast and innovating program. I have followed the Met Opera since 2004 and have seen its evolution in a 20-year span. The theater is magnificent and the incorporation of contemporary opera under Yannick's vision has been superb. For those who cannot attend yet, I highly recommend the Met HD recordings - they do get all the possible close-ups you may miss, even from the Grand Tier and Parterre seats. Pro tip: log on for rush tickets for last minute spots in the Orchestra.

An art form so magnificent that it stirs your sole. This is my third season of enjoying the opera. I am so fortunate to live in Philadelphia, just 2 and half hours from the city. The opera is not out of reach financial. Cost of good seats anywhere from $40 to $400. Yes I pick up the family circle seats. Enjoy two days in the city. With food, hotel, and the performance it is still less then Taylor Swift tickets.
