This makes my heart sing!!!! I’ve discovered, after years of sharing the opera with people who thought they didn’t like opera, that they had simply never experienced the opera before! Go! Immerse yourself. Cry - it’s OK! And thank you Mayor Mamdani. #operarocks

Never been to the opera before?
Now’s your chance. We’re giving away 70,000 free tickets to the @metopera at the iconic Lincoln Center. Go to on.nyc.gov/opera to enter the lottery. There’s not a bad seat in the house.

Ballet has been around since the Renaissance.
Opera since the 1600s.

Timothée Chalamet has been around since dial-up internet.

And may I say, all of those operas have been around for over a hundred years, and still sell out.

In 100 years: Timothee who??

re: Timothee Chalamet shooting his mouth off about opera and ballet, I will say in NYC it's much more affordable to go to the opera or the ballet than see a Broadway musical. The Met's season starts back up on Monday. They're doing Tristan und Isolde, Madame Butterfly, and La Traviata. All bangers.
