Fodor's Review:

The titan of American opera companies, the Metropolitan Opera brings the world's leading singers to its vast stage at Lincoln Center from October to April. The company's music director and principal conductor, James Levine, ensures the orchestra rivals the world's finest symphonies. All performances, including those sung in English, are unobtrusively subtitled on small screens on the back of the seat in front of you. Standing-room tickets go on sale at 10 AM on the day of the performance; they are $20 and must be purchased at the Met box office.
