Metropolitan Opera Review

One of my happy places. Amazing shows, costumes, and some of the best singers in the world. The partial view seats are hit or miss depending on the show.

First time here, and an interesting experience ))))

Great exhibition on the Catholic Imagination.... Heavenly Bodies... with church music. Beautiful.

Wonderful opera. $25 tickets available at noon on the day of the performance via the website.

One of the Most Beautiful Theatres I've had the pleasure of being in .

Amazing public plaza with the world's best performances

Beautiful venue, not the style we expected, but amazing in its own way. We re not the type to buy drinks at a show but they had a small water fountain with paper cups provided and that was a very nice feature. The show (Norma) was wonderful, and each seat has its own translation screen with the option to select from a number of different languages. The gift shop was expansive and there were some reasonably priced items if you were just looking for a simple souvenir. The gift shop staff was incredibly friendly.

Beautiful, elegant... Worth to put your suit or a nice dress and high heels and spend there one evening if you are visiting NYC or more evenings if you live in the city

The opera house is beautiful. The operas are fantastic.

Sunday brunch was lovely. The wait staff was perfection, the food was beautiful and delicious, and the young opera singer really made the event a special day to remember.

WOW! Color me impressed. Really nice Mexican restaurant. A little bit higher scale than the average but not super high end. Needless to say, it is very authentic. Better than others I've visited here in NYC. Tasty food! Take this from a Mexico City Mexican.

I visited to see a ballet!*(Wip cream) it was beautiful and we had great seats!

One of the top Opera companies and one of the most beautiful Opera Houses in the world!

Pretty on the inside , the seats aren t the best though

The operas La Boheme n Aida were wonderful. Everything was "over the top". The singing, the music, the scenery was something I will never forget.

One of the best in the world. The prices are punitively high.

Beautiful place to see an opera. I've been a handful of times now and love the excitement!

Outstanding Der Rosenkavalier. Good job Sir Simon, orchestra and superb cast. Nylund is a stunning Marschallin. A total knockout in diamonds & fur!

Awesome productions with a display excellent talent and performance.

The restaurant food. Dont have good flavor it looks great. But no good taste I dont recommend book in this restaurant go to restaurants near Restaurant s

It's the best opera in the world. What more could you want?

Well organized staff and amazingly quick how many people were able to get tickets and seated in so short a time. Although the leg room for $80 seats were dismal. I'm 6'2" and couldn't sit comfortably at all. My knees were bent at weird angles or I'd have to hug them. Performance and main singers were very good though.

First rate opera.... best in world! Gorgeous place. Even the cheapest seats are good. If you have no fear of heights!

Actually, I was at an American Ballet Theater performance at the Metropolitan Opera House. It was wonderful.

Loved Mephistophele! The prologue had us hooked -with exciting sets, heavenly chorus (adult and children s), memorable soloists, glorious music - and the opera only improved from there. Plus, the world renowned Opera House - and our friendly seat mates!

Amazing venue, and every show we've seen has been fantastic. Definitely made more affordable for students thanks to their student ticket system.

Went to see The Marriage of Figaro.
They could work on making a more comfortable seating area with atmosphere (maybe dome light music?) before entering the hall. The bar only takes cash which is a bit inconvenient. But other than that, superb!

'The Met' is historic, wonderfully maintained and just beautiful. Performances are majestic and a must see for all.

Awesome as a 1st time patron. Agrippina was everything I thought it would be and more.

Mozarts La clemenza di Tito was sublime. Entire cast brought their A game. This is an excellent ensemble that gave superb performances from beginning to end.

I, too, sing the praises for this remarkable venue. Laa laaaaaa. Laaaaaaaa!

The staff is really friendly, the environment is gorgeous. Very accommodating.

Took date to Ballet Romeo and Juliet. Got good orchestra seats a few days before the performance.

Visited here for a performance. Was amazing, the acoustics were on point! Best opera house in the world arguably.

If you enjoy opera, this is one of the premier opera houses. It is absolutely stunning inside and outside.

Great venue for the annual Barron Investment conference

Fantastic performances and stage decor in Rigoletto!

It's really beautiful, so fun for a night out to dress up and take pictures. I've been to a few opera houses and I always buy nosebleed tickets, I've found the acoustics in the nosebleeds to be kind of meh compared to other opera houses (ex. Oslo and Garnier Opera houses). I've been to 2 shows here, Turandot and La Boheme. The sets and costumes were absolutely stunning both times.

Only lost a star for the overpriced drinks. Otherwise, you can always find culture and entertainment here.

This is the Metropolitan Opera House. It is beautiful inside and outside. The performance was amazing (Magic Flute). If you come to NY, pay a visit here, you won't regret. There is even subtitle available for the Opera! The view on the picture is from the Grand Tier B4.
If you are worried about the snowflake shaped chandelier that hangs just in front of you, don't be, it goes up to the ceiling before the show starts.

The MET is one of my favorite places in the world. I've seen a number of productions over the years and I'm still awestruck every time I go. For instance, recently I saw Nabucco, and they actually set the set on fire during the scene where the city is taken.

Their occasional abridged, English-language adaptations of opera favorites like The Magic Flute or the Barber of Seville are a great way to introduce friends to opera.

Student tickets are available for $25 for most productions. But even when those sell out, you can go the day of any performance to the box office on the morning of the performance to get standing room tickets for $25. Those tickets are seriously worth it, and honestly, the standing room location is pretty comfy for what it is. Best value for what you get I'd say. Not that there's anything wrong with the Grand Tier... heck, if I had the money I'd get seats there more often. ;-)

If you don't know Italian or whatever the language your opera of choice is in, fear not! Every seat has its own subtitle screen that can be adjusted to display titles in English and usually a few other languages.

The singers here are really great. Too bad Franco Corelli couldn't be cloned and start appearing here again

Great! They say, there is another theater in NYC that has better acoustics that this one, and I'm not an expert, but it was good enough for me

Even for the jaded New Yorker, a night at the Metropolitan Opera feels special. Beautiful plaza with plenty of photo ops for the Instacrowd. Food choices are so-so but plenty of booze for intermission.

It is always a special night to attend the Opera @ the Met. Even unusual ones, like Akhnaten! But we also enjoy scheduling dessert & a glass of bubbly for the Intermission at the Grand Tier restaurant!

Broadway is to tourists as the Met is to Nyers. Always choose the orchestra as close as you can to the pit. Classics and avante garde productions such a lamour de loin and parsifal always blow my mind... also best place to nap, just dont snore lol

The best experience of my life! I loved everything about it. I hope to go again soon. I'm glad I also got to go with a good friend and her daughter. We watched the magic flute and it was wonderful. I still can't believe that I had a chance to go period. I felt like Cinderella. The place is beautiful!

Fabulous interiors in the foyers. Box seats are usually cheap and whilst the views can be restricted the sound is good!

It's the Metropolitan Opera House. In New York City. Prepare yourself for a real treat. Highly recommend going all out and dressing to the nines (black tie optional; a proper suit or lovely dress would be just perfect). Oh, and the bar on the mezzanine level is usually less busy and you can walk out on the balcony facing Lincoln Center and the fountain.

Excellent place to take in the opera, with a good range of areas still being good places to listen. Process of getting tickets from will-call, checking in and being seated is also very quick.

Opera is always a beautiful treat, but it's not nearly as serious as people think it is

We watched LaBoheme at the Met Opera in Lincoln Centre. What an outstanding experience: beautiful beautiful venue, and fantastic opera. Really worth doing. For those who don't know operatic languages, there is a neat translation screen that shows you what's going on.

One of the best experiences watching the beauty and the beast there it's a peaceful and beautiful place and environment i really love it

The place to be for everyone interested in classical music, especially singers! It's worth just having been there once even if you can't see a performance

The most beautiful show on earth.. I leave wanting more..

The space is incredible and the performances are memorable! Even sitting in the very top of the hall you can hear and see everything!

Very nice theatre. Excellent performance. Internal bar with a variety of drinks. Staff very polite and gentle.
Went there for Don Giovanni!

BEWARE! Atrocious cancellation policy. Biggest snow storm of 2018, 4k flights Cancelled, best they can do is a "snow day" within 2 weeks, or donate your ticket to them for a tax credit. I'm trying to recover 40 bucks what's a 40 dollar donation going to do for this guy's taxes? I'm sure it's a great venue, but how could I ever possibly buy online ever again. They need to revise the cancellation policy. IF YOU PURCHASE, KNOW THAT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS, NO MATTER WHAT, THEY WILL NOT BUDGE ON CANCELLATION.
