The Metropolitan Opera: World-Class Performances on the Lincoln Center Stage

 
The Metropolitan Opera's current 2025–26 season is in full swing at Lincoln Center in New York City, with some of the most beloved works in the repertoire commanding the stage through June. Verdi's Aida runs from March 9 through June 12, offering one of opera's grandest spectacles across dozens of performances. Kevin Puts's Silent Night — a Pulitzer Prize-winning opera about a Christmas truce during World War I — runs through April 3. The season closes with a landmark event: performances of Mahler's Symphony No. 8 conducted by Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on June 10–12. Check the listings below for available seats at upcoming performances.
 
The Metropolitan Opera has also announced its 2026–27 season — its 60th at Lincoln Center — featuring five new productions, a Diamond Jubilee gala on May 25, 2027, and world premieres by Missy Mazzoli, Kevin Puts, and Carlos Simon. The season opens September 22, 2026 with Verdi's Macbeth and includes Janácek's Jenufa, Puccini's La Fanciulla del West for New Year's Eve, and Verdi's Aida returning in spring. Individual tickets start at $25, making the Met one of the most accessible world-class arts institutions anywhere. See the listings below for seats and dates.
 
The Metropolitan Opera is one of the largest classical music organizations in the world and has been the pinnacle of operatic performance in America for nearly 150 years. Its roster of singers, conductors, and designers consistently includes the most celebrated names in classical music, and its stage — the largest in any American opera house — allows for productions of a scale impossible anywhere else. Whether you're a first-time opera-goer or a longtime subscriber, there's a performance this season worth experiencing. Find your seats in the listings below.
The 2025–26 Season: What's Still Running
 
The final months of the 2025–26 Met season are packed with major repertoire. Aida — Verdi's sweeping drama set in ancient Egypt, featuring the triumphal march and "Celeste Aida" — runs in repertory through June 12 with multiple casts. Silent Night, the Puts opera that brought a 21st-century work into the Met's core repertoire, offers some of the most emotionally direct storytelling on the house's stage. And the Mahler Eighth in June — featuring hundreds of performers, soloists, and chorus — is a once-in-a-generation scale of event at the Met. Browse the listings above for available performances.
