Sworn against love by the death of her mother, proud Princess Turandot prefers watching her suitors meet a grisly end and having their heads placed on spikes at the palace gates, yet they still vie to win her hand.

Sit back and be transported to Rome on the edge of invasion in this marvelous melodrama. As perfect for first-timers as it is for seasoned audiences.

The Metropolitan Opera presents Jenufa, Leos Janacek's 1904 seminal opera, in a new production directed by Claus Guth. Following his acclaimed 2025 staging of Salome, Guth returns with a psychologically haunting take on Janacek's powerful drama.

Return to Coney Island as the Met stages Phelim McDermott's glorious production of the Mozart favorite. The third collaboration between Mozart and librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte (following Le Nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni), the work didn't fare too well when it debuted in 1790, with many considering it amoral and risque, but has since been thoroughly reappraised and become an unmissable part of any season!
