Diamond Jubilee: 60 Years at Lincoln Center

FULLY STAGED SCENES STARRING OPERA’S GREATEST STARS
 
Sixty years after the opening of the new Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center ushered in a spectacular new age of grand opera, the Met celebrates the diamond anniversary of its magnificent home with a glittering gala—conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin and fully staged by director Julian Crouch, with immersive video and projections by 59 Studio, and featuring a dazzling array of opera’s brightest stars and the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus. The program will include a broad selection of arias, duets, and scenes from more than 30 operas, including thrilling excerpts from Die Walküre, Der Rosenkavalier, La Forza del Destino, Akhnaten, Pagliacci, Romeo et Juliette, and The Queen of Spades. In addition to the star-studded performance, the historic evening will include a special gala dinner.

The Met gratefully acknowledges the leadership support of Cindy and Tod Johnson.

Major support provided by the Berry Charitable Foundation, and The Sybil B. Harrington Endowment Fund.
