If you can still get a ticket, yes. I saw the first performance of the season (September 25) and it was a night of beautiful singing. The voices of Netrebko and Alagna marry beautifully together, and both are more than competent actors. (Personally, I felt that it was Netrebko's finest singing to date, especially "Amour, ranime mon courage".)
bway--he WILL be seeing it live, just not at the Met proper.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
