NEW YORK, N.Y. – The Metropolitan Opera is cutting ticket prices by an average of about 10 per cent next season, when music director James Levine returns to the New York City institution from a spine injury that led to a two-year absence.
In the company’s first season without Richard Wagner operas since anti-German sentiment in 1918-19 caused by World War I, the Met will present six new-to-New York productions, the fewest since Peter Gelb’s first season as general manager in 2006-07.
