The MET is broadcasting this Saturday's matinee of Romeo et Juliette (with Placido Domingo conducting) at all the various movie theaters which are participating.

Worthwhile to buy a ticket?

Absolutely, but of course it would be better to see live.

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.

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." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Oh, I know. I meant live, in person, at the Met. re: Romeo et Juliette

Are tickets still available? The last time that I checked, all of the NYC locations were sold out.

I'll be seeing the Macbeth telecast from a theatre in New Jersey.

They're a heck of a lot cheaper than actual opera tickets.

Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

AC1 - By me in Queens (the hub of sophistamicated opera folk), neither the Live performance and the Encore are sold out.

In fact, I was just able to hypothetically purchase 30 tickets.

A bit different, but the West Coast premier of Romeo et Juliette (the contemporary ballet version) is going to be danced by the Pacific Northwest Ballet this spring.


So excited!

I thought this would be about the French musical, Romeo et Juliette.

In that case, Yankee, definitely go.

My only available opportunity is the Sunday Encore. I'm still debating.

Will let y'all know.
