Metropolitan Opera House

Absolutely stunning performance! The Met Opera brought Aida to life with breathtaking visuals, powerful vocals, and world-class staging. The set design was majestic, especially the triumphal march scene—it felt like stepping into ancient Egypt. The cast delivered emotionally moving performances, and the orchestra was flawless. A truly unforgettable night at one of the most iconic venues in the world. Highly recommend catching this if you get the chance!

I went here twice: When I chaperoned a class trip to a dress rehearsal for the Marriage of Figaro, I was impressed by the general ambiance, the red velvet seats, the crystal chandeliers that move up at the start of a performance and the view of the stage. The second time I went, we had the cheaper Family Circle seats to see La Boheme. The view was slightly obscured and we had to stretch our necks to see the stage beyond the person in front of us but we had a great view of the orchestra pit the whole theater and most of the stage. Next time, I would opt for better seats and maybe order drinks ahead of intermission with the app since the lines were long. I had fun both times though.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Swan Lake – Lincoln Center, NYC Watching Swan Lake at the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center was truly magical. The entire evening felt like stepping into a dream—from the stunning venue to the flawless performance. The ballet, the costumes, the orchestra—everything was breathtaking. You don’t have to be a ballet expert to appreciate the artistry and emotion that fills the stage. This was one of those unforgettable New York moments. The dancers were perfection (Odette/Odile was phenomenal!), and the Tchaikovsky score performed live by the orchestra made the whole experience feel so grand and emotional. The set and lighting added to the magic of each act—especially the lake scenes! 📍 Location: Metropolitan Opera House, 30 Lincoln Center Plaza, New York, NY 10023 🎭 Show: Swan Lake Ballet 💵 Ticket Prices: Vary depending on the seat—range from ~$50 for balcony seats to $250+ for orchestra ⏰ Runtime: Around 2 hours 30 minutes with intermissions 🎟️ Tip: Book your tickets in advance—Swan Lake tends to sell out quickly 👗 Dress Code: Most people go semi-formal or cocktail attire—it’s a great excuse to dress up! ⸻ ✨ If you’re in NYC and want to experience something elegant, powerful, and truly world-class, Swan Lake at Lincoln Center is a must. It’s not just a show—it’s a moment you’ll remember forever. @raquelgerlani

The Metropolitan Opera envelops you in a world of enchantment the moment you step inside. The grandeur and elegance of the venue sweep you off your feet, leaving your heart awash with wonder. The performance itself was nothing short of breathtaking, a true masterpiece that resonates with the soul. For anyone who cherishes beauty and the art of expression, this experience is simply a must!

Super fast to get in. Bathroom lines are long but move. Coat check only $5. We came early so we went to Rosetta Bakery for a coffee. You’re able to leave and re-enter, they just give you a yellow paper ticket. You can bring outside food drinks etc in the venue but not to your seat (we had to finish our coffees in the gathering area which was fine). Way better than most public events where you can’t bring anything in and then get charged $6 for a water.
