Not sure the Metropolitan Opera House is the "most famous in the world." I would think that the opera houses standing 100 years before the Metropolitan was even built are more famous: The Royal Opera (London), the Paris Opera, La Scala. . . .
@@raarnoldra It is the most prestigious and most famous in the world, and perhaps the best acoustics, but it is not that old. The current Met Opera House was opened in 1966. It replaced the old Metropolitan Opera House on Broadway and 39th street. The old Met was constructed in 1883.
i heard that ugliness at :45 in...and thanked my stars that i am old enough to have been there to hear CORELLI, TUCKER, GEDDA, MERRILL, MAC NEIL, TOZZI , SIEPI... TEBALDI, PRICE, NILSSON, MOFFO, VERRETT, BUMBRY, CABALLE, SUTHERLAND. this bleating grigolo does not have enough size or quality of voice to have done the smallest comprimario role in that era. what passes now is so low grade and debasing to what has gone before.

"They're always in the way!"
HAHAHAHAH
From Ho Chi Minh City at 1:16 AM Vietnam time, a fond appreciation for a great series
I love how us as musicians always point out to our instrument in this case she's like : the horns😊❤️✨😁
I always love seeing all the female horn players in the Met orchestra....what a change over the years!

naples.. one of the veteran most if not the longest existing (teatro san-carlo)
She is correct. Not only the most famous but arguably the most prestigious. It's been the case since World War II.

@@pega17pl what a moronic generalization.
Great report. Thank you!
lol my name is Sarah and I love the Met Opera it's my fave place in the world!!!!
Thank you!
Sarah cracks a joke @3:37 and Peter Gelb is so focused he doesn't even acknowledge it. This guy is all business.
Awesome story. Thanks!
Nice😁
8:39 who is in the middle of the screen?
That’s the tenor Vittorio Grigolo.
i'd love to attend some sort of performance here but i live in kansas lol
You've got the Kansas City Lyric Opera. No need to go all the way to the Met when you can support your local house :-)
@@danladi4073 It is great to patronize local art, but it is an entirely different experience seeing a performance at the Met.
Its great to support your local opera company, but attending performances at the Met is like nothing else.
Don't let that grab your tongue, Vito.
That opera singer in the magenta gown tho...girl chill. I understand playing for the back row, and the excitement of singing at the Met, but damn.
I hope this comment is ironic😂 She is playing a role😅
Lol thats Diana Damrau… she is the protagonist 😂😂
the views are wrong.
David Geffen Hall.
Someone got caught.
hi mark
Alas, wobbles and ingolato shouting, have replaced the "Art" of Singing.
No.

@@artistsf1 Frenchfantastique =/= Italian grand, you pompous gasbag.
Complain, complain,complain. Opera queens have nothing else to do but complain and criticize. How boring and sad your lives must be.
