We are looking forward to returning to one of the world’s greatest opera houses and have planned two visits to the 2023 season. Our itinerary will include visits to New York’s leading art collections including The Museum of Modern Art and The Frick Collection. Although performances from the Met’s stage are now enjoyed by millions thanks to high definition broadcasts, there is nothing to match the thrill of entering the Met’s plush auditorium and settling down into your seat in person. We will discover just how an opera house of this size and international standing functions on our enthralling backstage tour. Like many performing arts organisations, recent events have paved the way for changes and we are looking forward to returning to the Met to share their renewed vision and energy.
