Thanks for the article MezzA101.   Usually people say the sound in the balcony is very good.   I don't know why, when the Met already has the best singers of our era performing these roles, they f things up with a bad set design?

Well actuually I guess we know why - the absolute vanity of the executives there for whom the actual quality of performances don't matter.
