Metropolitan Opera Reviews

One of the most iconic opera s of the world!
You can also find cheap tickets, for N.Y. prices of course.

One of my favorite places to be. La Traviata hits your soul. Hope I get to see Porgy and Bess.

Absolutely fantastic experience! The sets are always mind bogglingly complex and the singers powerful.

The space is beautiful. The singing is wonderful. I love how they have subtitles if you need them.

One of the famous opera house in the world. As you know that, MET opera tries many brand new operas now.

Make a reservation at The Grand Tier restaurant well beforehand for a pre-show dinner and enjoy dessert, champagne or other courses during the intermissions. Pre-pay and the food will be waiting for you! Super efficient and delish.

I believe that The Metropolitan Opera in New York is the best Opera House in the world

The great experience of listening to opera live brings you joy. As the voices fill the house you can take in the splendors of the place from the gold leaf ceiling to the crystal chandeliers that rise as the lights dim.

Amazing performance was too notch and the pit orchestra was outstanding.

Saw Don Quixote, enjoyed seeing Misty Copeland and All Principal Dancers...magical!

Madame Butterfly was just fantastic! Although I had a partial view place, I will definitely come back to a better location.

Magical! We saw Samson & Delilah. Singing, set, orchestra, staging all fantastic (the NYT review was very off!

Exquisite performance of Figaro. Outstanding cast. Don:t miss it.

My Mom and I went here for a Concert sponsered by the Access Program and it was Wonderful.

Aida was fantastic. Opera as it was and should always be.

Wonderful place but they'll call you to ask for donation for the rest of your life.

Had wonderful experiences of watching ballet. Spacious, neat and great restaurants !

Worth your time! Except the part where you stand in a ridiculous will call line waiting to pick up tickets (they don't have eTickets).

Performance of Verdi's Aida at the Met was just breathtaking. The voices were awesome, the costumes were gorgeous. There were live, decorated horses on stage.

It was just wonderful lifetime experience.

But there were many people coming with jeans and sneakers (just awful), of course also very elegant people with black tie dress-code.

And there was a man siting behind me who was snoring all the time and waking only when people were applauding.

Worth seeing if you're in the area. World class shows, cool architecture and art. Check out the Chegall murals during intermission while sipping champagne. Don't be intimidated and think you need to wear a tux. Come as you are and enjoy!

Don Giovanni - amazing atmosphere (also entertaining if you get to watch the first half in a separate movie-like room together with other people who didn't make it on time)

Excellent performances! Akhnaten was out of this world phenomenal!

The customer service was not that great. However the venue is beautiful and the show, phenomenal. What was most helpful was the translation panel in front of each seat.. German, French, English, and Italian translations.

The show was live streaming so the best view (in the event that you don't have great seats) may be the big HD screen on the lowest level.

What about for Angel Families whose loved ones were killed by illegal aliens? Do they get free tickets too like you are giving Federal workers?

A tradition in New York, the opera is one of those cultural institutions that is intrinsic. The venue is simply breathtaking. My only complaint is that some patrons have taken to showing up in shorts and t-shirts.

BEAUTIFUL opera house. Free coat check, incredible theater and really fast check in.

Went here for the production of Manon. It was amazing! Beautiful opera and wonderful orchestra.

Saw Agrippina ... fantastic! Bravo to Hoyce DiDonato [Agrippina] and Kate Lindsey [Nerone]!!

Wow. The whole experience from start to finish was awesome. A gorgeous building, wonderful spacious lobby, artistic through and through. Enjoyed my first opera, Carmen. Now I want to buy a season.

The met is a fantastic place to attend the Opera. This was out 2nd time here and loved it.

Great opera productions from time to time, but some parts of the interior and the rest rooms are very outdated. Automatic facet cannot be found here. A modern renovation is needed.

The Metropolitan Opera is a class act all the way. I've been to opera houses in other US cities (and others in NYC) and nothing ever comes close to the atmosphere and level of operatic performance at the Met.

Really, I'm not sure that I can say much more about the Met that hasn't already been said. It's a MUST visit for all classical music aficionados.

Just a quick thank you to the ushers who were looking everywhere for my friends diamond ring that had slipped off her finger during a fabulous perfofmance of Romeo & Juliet . Everyone was looking after the lights went up
As we were the last to leave, unable to find the ring until my friend felt it inside her shoe!
But the ushers were great!
Also Stella Abrera was brilliant and exquisite as Juliet. Catch her at ABT if you can!

Always love it. Carmen is an outstanding production playing now

All the greats have been there singing arias. Leontyne price. Joan Sutherland. Marilyn Horne. Samson and Delilah starred Anita Rashkiavilli, who possesses the most beautiful mezzo-soprano voice I've ever heard in my life.

For best sound, choose a higher seat (i.e. family circle) Orchestra seats don't have a good balance of music vs singing. The rosewood creates a rich sound. Every person should go at least once on their lifetime.

Great show, unbelievable scenery, some great shows coming up, all seats have screens with the translation so you can know what's being said

Love the place but had really bad experience buying series of tickets for 10 performances in upcoming season. Very disappointing.

Non-existent customer service over the phone. Agents lack very basic service and communication skills.

It's the best deal in New York City. For a couple bucks, you can see some of the best singers, musicians, and conductors put on a performance that you'll always remember.

Amazing productions, music, and architecture. Worth at least one visit.

Tips for "regular people" like me. You can get cheap tickets in the "family circle" but be aware that this is really far back. Really. It hard to recognize who is who on stage. The upper boxes are another place where you can find inexpensive tickets. These are very fancy with a door entrance to each box. Be aware though that when they say partial view, they really mean partial view. In some of them you can't see half the stage.

The performances are spectacular. The richness of the sets and talent of the performers is amazing.

This place took my breath away. Very fancy! The performances are amazing!

I would like to give a big thank you to the Met opera and the staff for an amazing experience!!!
My mom and I got to see Cosi fan tutte, and it was simply amazing, the stage design brilliant.

We almost didn't get to see it because my mom and I, my parents were visiting from Austria, that had us stuck in Buffalo because of a snowstorm/wind gusts, so we missed our performance. The staff was kind enough to find us a good alternative to see the show, they were helpful and supportive and we are grateful for all they did for us so we get to see this amazing production.

Thank you!

Great performances, nice crowd. Drinks and snacks were very unreasonable (okay, charge your markups -- we all understand that you're a venue -- but at least have some level of quality)

Cinderella by the Paris Opera Company excellent and otherworldly

Loved it! Great experience watching a play during my visiting to NY!

An amazing cultural experience. Madama Butterfly - flawless.

Absolutely Incredible! The view from everywhere is fantastic. Sit higher up if you enjoy being able to also watch the musicians! The lengthy intermissions give you time to enjoy yourself and explore.

The top place in america for opera. Simply the best

If you buy a drink before the show or during intermission, be aware that they won't let you take it to your seat, so there's a lot of chugging happening at the bar. Still, going to the opera is one of those things that you should do at least once in NY.

It's always special going to the Met! As soon as you enter the lobby you know you're in for a great evening! It's what makes NY, NY!

My favorite place! You must absolutely come and see this magic

It doesn't matter where your seat is the sound is sublime. Thoroughly enjoyed the ballet season.

Great place for families to see a world class show at reasonable prices.

Saw Swan Lake for the first time & it was a great experience!! The Met is beautiful the dancers were so graceful. I can't wait to go back!!

Saw Porgy and Bess, and it was a brilliant production!

Beautiful theatre with the best shows - a shame it s shut down right now
