Metropolitan Opera House

Well...I've been purchasing tickets all day for my upcoming trip to NYC (Ave Q, Boy From Oz, Mrs. Farnsworth...etc.), and I am wondering how my seats are for "Rigoletto" at the Metropolitan Opera House. Anyone been to the met before? I'm seated in the Rear Orchestra, Row EE 9-11. Anybody been around there? Thanks for your comments!

yes, thanks...the seats look great actually. last row of the orchestra, which means best rake and full view of the entire stage. can anybody confirm this?

yes - a little far back, but basically great view, great sound (actually everywhere in that house is great sound).

Your seats are under the overhang. It can become unbearably hot and stuffy in that location.

There ARE deadspots for sound at the Met--usually in the balcony section.

Why should the new Met "hold a candle"? Mimi does that in LA BOHEME and takes care of things very nicely, thank you very much.

It's not that bad an area....but I find the sound gets better the higher you go....to me it sounds dry in the orchestra..

My ideal: Dress Circle on the side...not too high...not to low...you can see the stage and the sound is warm and vibrant....
