Originally built to rival the established opera houses of Europe – particularly those in Paris and London – it quickly established its own distinctive American style. Throughout its history, “The Met” has premiered numerous significant operas and hosted many of the most celebrated singers of each generation. The company operates on a season-based model, presenting around 220 performances annually, encompassing around 26 different operas. It is known for its large scale productions, elaborate sets and costumes, and commitment to both traditional repertoire and contemporary works.
