Seems like there is plenty of money there in the protesters to fund front door survielence through the run. Simply snap lots of pics of patrons and post them daily.
Follow them out and interview them as a member of the public press and record their words. Post that with their pix too.
Take and go more in depth with a PI into a few randomly and post the results.
Shunning always did work. Personally I have mo problem walking into a church or a strip club. If I were going to do either I am going to do it without embarrassment. Lets see how many operagoers share that idea.
The Pali’s claim it was a hoax.

Of course! All the arts are supported by the NEA.
At the last protest, there were people yelling about other funding as well. “Who paid you to do this, Peter?” and the like.
What’s next? 9/11, the Musical?
then they turn around and vote for obola...go figure.
New York has fallen to the dark one...this city is no more the present day Gomorrah!
And they donate big bucks to the Met.
WHO is making this play happen???? Probably sadly some Liberal Jews are.
Islam must be destroyed.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Well NOTHING surprises me anymore!
Well there was a musical about the “Titanic”, remember?
Unfortunately the only thing that will send a serious message is if the Met has thousands of season ticket holders cancel their subscriptions.
Federal, no. The New York Met has gotten donations from federal agencies in the past but it isn't part of their normal revenue. However, they do receive annual funding from the New York State Council on the Arts and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Knowing the schmuck they have running the city now I expect that this "opera" will cause him to double the city's funding.
It’s anti- American, anti-Israel, and anti-Semitic - of course it got tax dollars!
“La Traviata” was about a Parisian Courtesan who tries to leave “the life” and who eventually dies of TB after her lover rejects her. It was based on a play “The Lady of the Camellias”.
Hardly a “World Event”. It did, however, cause a scandal at the time because it was about “Real people” in a contemporary setting.
“La Boheme” which was also about contemporary people living in Paris, was also criticized for being too “real”.
Neither of these were Polemical, Anti-Semitic, Revisionist Celebrations of terrorism, nor did they elevate enemies of America, and certainly neither of these named a victim of Terrorism while their family was still alive.
It is dangerous to make excuses for this travesty just because “Operas have a body count”. It is NOT the “Body Count” that is causing the objection.
What if it were YOUR Dad they were “singing” about?
I had a friend like that in high school. Today, nearly 30 years later, she's a left-wing-lesbian-barking-moonbat.
La Traviata/La Dame aux Camellias is about real person, thinly veiled. Who was something of a celebrity of the day. Came out just a few years after her death. Just an example of an opera on a contemporary topic.
If they were to make an opera concerning my dad my opinion would depend entirely on how he was portrayed. Which is my point, that there is no problem with having an opera as such. The problem would be what’s in it.
