The Metropolitan Opera

Our top priority is the safety of the Met’s audiences, artists, orchestra, chorus, and staff. The Met has implemented a mandatory vaccination policy for audiences, who must show proof of vaccination upon arrival at the Met. All artists, orchestra, chorus, and staff are required to do the same. 

In another gesture of solidarity with the victims of the war in Ukraine, the Metropolitan Opera and the Polish National Opera will gather leading Ukrainian musicians into the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra for a European and U.S. tour July 28–August 20.

The plays of William Shakespeare have provided fertile ground for many of history’s greatest composers, and in 2017, Brett Dean joined their ranks, unveiling his entirely engrossing setting of Hamlet. This season, Dean’s bold opera, which captures the title character’s tortured inner struggle with one of the 21st century’s most electrifying scores, arrives at the Met.
