    Membership at the Metropolitan Opera Club

    Immerse yourself in the culture of New York's Metropolitan Opera

    The Metropolitan Opera Club is open for approximately 150 opera performances each Met season, giving our members unprecedented access. We maintain 23 of the 30 subscription series of opera that are offered each season (excluding only the Friday series 4, the Saturday Matinee series 4 and all Saturday evening series performances). The subscription costs are shared among the Subscribing members, substantially reducing individual seat prices.

    Besides access to performances, the Club offers a friendly yet elegant environment, with cocktails or dinner just steps away from the performance in our private dining room, both before and during intermissions. The Club dining room is located on the Dress Circle level of the opera house, accessible by private elevator located next to the box office, opening directly into our dining room.

    The Club also offers ticket services for its members to obtain preferred seating in non-club seats for all regular performances, or for premieres and gala events. The Club has an attended coat check service adjacent to the dining room.
