La Sonnambula: Oct. 26, 2025 at 11 a.m.
Following triumphant Met turns in Roméo et Juliette, La Traviata, and Lucia di Lammermoor, Nadine Sierra summits another peak of the soprano repertoire as Amina, who sleepwalks her way into audiences’ hearts in Bellini’s poignant tale of love lost and found.

La Boheme: Nov.15, 2025 at 1:30 p.m.
With its enchanting setting and spellbinding score, the world’s most popular opera is as timeless as it is heartbreaking. Franco Zeffirelli’s picture-perfect production brings 19th-century Paris to the Met stage as Puccini’s young friends and lovers navigate the joy and struggle of bohemian life.
Arabella: Dec. 7, 2025 at 1:30 p.m.
Strauss’s elegant romance brings the glamour and enchantment of 19th-century Vienna to the Met stage in a sumptuous production by legendary director Otto Schenk that “is as beautiful as one could hope” (The New York Times).
Andrea Chenier: Dec. 20, 2025 at 1:30 p.m.
Giordano’s passionate tragedy stars tenor Piotr Beczaa as the virtuous poet who falls victim to the intrigue and violence of the French Revolution.
I Puritani: Jan. 17, 2026 at 1:30 p.m.
For gorgeous melody, spellbinding coloratura, and virtuoso vocal fireworks, I Puritani has few equals. On New Year’s Eve, the curtain goes up on the first new Met production of Bellini’s final masterpiece in nearly 50 years.
Tristan Und Isolde: Apr. 4, 2026 at 1:30 p.m.
After years of anticipation, a truly unmissable event arrives as the electrifying Lise Davidsen tackles one of the ultimate roles for dramatic soprano: the Irish princess Isolde in Wagner’s transcendent meditation on love and death. Heroic tenor Michael Spyres stars opposite Davidsen as the love-drunk Tristan.
Eugene Onegin: May 17, 2026 at 1:30 p.m.
Following her acclaimed 2024 company debut in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly, soprano Asmik Grigorian returns to the Met as Tatiana, the lovestruck young heroine in this ardent operatic adaptation of Pushkin.
