Metropolitan Opera House

What an absolute beautiful experience. I'm a native NY'er and we often don't take advantage of all the beautiful sights in our own backyard. I'm so glad I did. It's such a beautiful building. It excuses elegance. The staff is extremely helpful. Especially since I had .y sister that is in a wheelchair. They made a very anxious filled night so calm. Thank you so much for making her feel so welcomed. We saw Porgy & Bess and it was a beautiful show. The cast was phenomenal!! Thanks and I'll see you soon

Everything about the Metropolitan Opera House is absolutely exquisite. From the moment you arrive, the grandeur takes your breath away the stunning venue, rich décor, and iconic grand staircase alone are worth the visit. If you’re under 40, the Under 40s party is beyond expectations. Incredible energy, amazing people, fantastic food and drinks, and endless photo ops. You also get a discount on tickets so if you’re 40 or younger look into this. Get dressed up! Truly one of the most fun and stylish ways to experience the opera. This is the place for it. Arrive early to take photos, and if you can, make a night of it with dinner beforehand. There is honestly not a bad seat in the house. Sightlines are excellent, the seat was comfy and I especially loved the subtitle translations, which make the performance even more immersive and accessible. Entering and exiting the venue was smooth, easy, and felt very safe well organized and welcoming. The only downside: they allow people to enter very late nearly 30 minutes after the performance starts and it was incredibly disruptive. Unfortunately, some late arrivals were also quite rude, taking a long time to settle and frequently blocking the view of others. That said, the overall experience is unforgettable. Elegant, exciting, and truly world-class. A must-do NYC experience. 🎭✨ @thesequinunicorn reviews

It was simply magical. It was my first time going to the opera and I am forever in love with the space and the genre. I can't express how enchanting the experience was. The acoustics were perfect, and the atmosphere was absolutely captivating. I will cherish this memory forever.

I was lucky to have been to this wonderful theater some time ago. My performance was the iconic Swan Lake by Tchaikovsky. I saw different Swan Lake performances in other theaters, including The Bolshoi; however, I cannot call myself a connoisseur. I just like the ballet -) It was hard to get tickets a couple of weeks in advance (which was our case) and we used a website that resells tickets. Fortunately, our tickets were valid -) You can treat yourself to a glass of champagne before the performance and during the interval. As for the hall itself, I was in the stalls and the view was quite good - please check out the photo. The performance was really great, true and passionate, and what I liked in Met Opera especially was the audience. It is the first theater with the audience that is so emotional about the finale - there were several bursts of applause during the last 10-15 minutes and, of course, a standing ovation afterwards. Fantastic night and such a powerful energy load! I wish I could visit the Metropolitan Opera again. When (and if at all)? Who knows...

I went to see Porgy and Bess. Beautiful atmosphere. The lines were long but moved along quickly. Bathroom during intermission was horrible though. It was a beautiful and eclectic mix of people from all cultures, ethnicity and backgrounds 💞
