REMINDER: Soprano rescheduled takeover will take place during tomorrow’s matinee performance of The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess. These go on sale at 10AM the day of the performance and start at $20. If you want REALLY the cheapest tickets available – just to say you went to the opera! – you can opt for standing room tickets. For example, tickets to the newly revamped Porgy and Bess start at $128, but you can get seats at the long-running Madama Butterfly for as cheap as $30. Of course, ticket prices will also depend on the popularity of the show you’re looking to see. The Met Opera has a great interactive seating map so you can select where you want to be – and you can also check Razorgator’s site to see how good of a value your tickets are using our special algorithm! On the bottom level in the Orchestra section, seats can start at $230 a piece, while at the top in Family Circle, tickets can start at a mere $37 – be careful though, some of these seats only have partial views (they’ll be labeled as such on the official site). Ranging from the ground floor to the top, the levels are as follows: Orchestra, Parterre, Grand Tier, Dress Circle, Balcony, and, at the very top, Family Circle. When it comes to seating at the Met Opera, there are several levels to choose from. If you’re going with a group, you may be able to save up to 25% when you buy tickets for 10 or more people, so be sure to look into that!ĭeciding where to sit at the opera has a lot to do with your preference and your budget.
If you’re more old school, you can even call to order tickets over the phone and pick them up at will call. If you don’t mind buying whatever tickets are remaining when you arrive in the city, you can also visit the Met box office in person – it’s located at the north end of the front lobby. Luckily, the Met has thoughtfully equipped the back of each seat with a small screen where you can see subtitles featuring translations in several languages.Ī post shared by Thomas on at 3:38pm PDT Choosing Opera TicketsĪs for opera tickets, you can get them online via the official Met Opera website or you can shop the secondary market for deals on tickets with Razorgator. Many operas are written in languages other than English, so you might be worried that you’ll have no idea what’s going on. Why not get snazzy and enjoy it? The Met Opera recommends checking out their Last Night at the Met Instagram account for some wardrobe inspiration! So what should you wear? There’s no official dress code, but most guests use the opera as an excuse to get fancy and dress up! We wouldn’t recommend jeans and a t-shirt. There are murals on the Grand Tier level, a brilliant view of Lincoln Center from the balcony, and of course, champagne at the bar! There’s also the Met Opera Shop where you can snag a little souvenir to remember your visit. What should you expect when you get to the Met? Glamorous decor and lots to see, including the famous fountains and chandeliers! Most shows also have an intermission or two, so use that as a chance to explore this dazzling atmosphere. They also have 24-hour public parking available in a parking garage at the Lincoln Center, but it’s probably easier to just get an Uber or Lyft to drop you off so you don’t have to bother! (That means you won’t need to wait until the weekend to gather up your busy friends and go see a show!) It’s located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and it’s easy to reach using the subway or bus.
Located in Lincoln Center, New York, the Met Opera features performances every day of the week. The hood: Met, Carnegie Hall, and no fancy coffeeshops around 🤷🏻♀️Ī post shared by Nastya Chernikova on at 3:51pm PDT Going to the Opera, What to Wear, What to Expect
