But I assume the Metropolitan Opera is still in business?
Yes, the Met is still okay. Costs an arm and a leg to go to a performance there, but it’s still one of the best in the world and good for a very occasional treat.
Pretty much the price is comparable to many Broadway shows and the Broadway shows usually have canned music. The Met Orchestra alone is one of the best in the country, so when you go to the Met you get one of the best orchestras in the country plus the best singers the world has to offer. So when you think of that angle, maybe it’s not so pricey for what you get.
