Kolikona Very close to being there in person Great vision of backstage between acts Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/23 Full Review Nancy The opera is an experience like no other. Seeing a live stream from The Met is the closest thing to being there. Everyone should go at least once. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/23 Full Review Carole N The cast was perfect. Good actors and great voices. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/23 Full Review Peg T It was absolutely delightful! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/03/23 Full Review Mary Lee A phenomenal production of one of the best comic operas in the repertoire. Loved every minute, especially the acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/23 Full Review Susan The Met has a well-earned reputation for producing the best opera performances in the country, perhaps in the world. The movie theater experience makes productions like this accessible and affordable for most people. The back-stage sneak-peaks and interviews make the performances all the more enjoyable. Falstaff is funny, irreverent, and a great introduction for new opera-goers, or those who think they dont like opera. Magnifico! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
