The Met's 2026-27 season cuts productions to 17 due to financial strain, despite rising ticket sales.
The Metropolitan Opera’s 2026-27 season will feature 17 productions, its fewest in at least 60 years, due to financial constraints despite a rise in ticket sales to 72% of capacity.
The reduction follows budget cuts, including 22 layoffs and temporary pay reductions, and the postponement of Mussorgsky’s “Khovanshchina.” The season includes five new stagings, with revivals of “Tosca,” “La Bohème,” and “Aida” making up 38% of performances.
New productions include Verdi’s “Macbeth,” Missy Mazzoli’s “Lincoln in the Bardo,” Janáček’s “Jenůfa,” Puccini’s “La Fanciulla del West,” and Kevin Puts’ “Silent Night.” A May 25, 2027, gala will mark the Met’s 60th anniversary at Lincoln Center.
General Manager Peter Gelb, entering his 20th season, plans to retire in 2030.
