Call me nuts; I just got tickets to see Tristan und Isolde next month at the #metropolitanopera. An additional show was just added and something moved me to see what was available. I took a chance, a leap of faith and threw caution to the wind shelling out big $$ for the Dress Circle nosebleeds. I know it's long but Mrs just informed me that it lasts nearly 5 hours! Yikes! Thankfully, it's an afternoon performance. Time to reacquaint myself to make the most of it. #opera #Wagner

When William K. Vanderbilt's $30,000 offer for an opera box was rejected by Mrs. Astor's crowd at the Academy of Music, the snubbed industrialists built their own opera house. The Met opened in 1880 with superior acoustics and 36 private boxes—and the Academy of Music couldn't compete. Today's Lincoln Center home continues that legacy of grandeur.

In the past 5 yrs, the #MetropolitanOpera has drained money from its endowment, entered a still-tentative $200M deal with Saudi Arabia & cut its performance schedule as it struggled to bring stability to an institution hammered by the #coronavirus #pandemic.
