Metropolitan Opera

Absolutely stunning. Everyone should go to an opera at least once. Everything is on point. Dress up and enjoy the show. Grab drinks at the bar for great views .

view from the 1st balcony box seat isn't terrible but you do miss some of the action in the back and left of the stage . (eg we could not see odette dramatically leap into the lake )

Experience this magnificent venue at least once in your life. cross it off the bucket list! ;) The temp tends to fluctuate inside so dress in layers!

If you haven't already, purchase tickets to see a show IMMEDIATELY. You will not regret it. Some of the most stunning performances are held here. Highly recommend Carmen as a must see!
