24/7 SupportOne of the world's great opera companies, the Met was established in 1883. Arturo Toscanini, Gustav Mahler, Artur Bodanzky, Bruno Walter, and Dimitri Mitropoulos have been among its most well-known conductors. The most famous artists have sung leading roles here, from Enrico Caruso to Placido Domingo to Christine Nilsson. The Metropolitan Opera features over 200 hundred performances of opera annually, and in addition to the 800,000 annual attendees, countless millions watch both the occasional televised and listen to the frequent radio productions. The Met moved from its original location on 39th Street to its current location at Lincoln Center in September of 1966. James Levine made his debut here in 1971 and has been Artistic Director since 1986. The Metropolitan Opera House is itself an iconic part of Lincoln Center's landscape.
