Night at the Opera - Update

OK--as Monday is Opening Night at the Metropolitan Opera, I checked back to see if new instructions on Rush seats had been posted. They are now and a helpful associate gave me the information which I will pass onto you.

The big news is that the weekday and weekend programs will continue. Weekdays, Rush seats are available to anyone day of performance BUT if you are a senior you just call (212) 362-6000 that day and you can order them on the phone. They cost $20 and are in the Orchestra and Grand Tier. Exclusions are Opening Night, New Year's Eve, etc.

Weekends, you have to enter the lottery. Go online any Monday morning before 10 am and register for tickets for the following weekend. They are $25 each and can be bought for all performances except galas and opening nights of new productions.

They have the site up now for both the Rush tickets and the senior weekend tickets. Go to: metoperafamily.org/metopera/Rush/ for weekday Rush tickets and metoperafamily.org/metopera/contests/drawing/index.aspx for the weekend ticket drawing.
