The New York City Opera opened their Spring Season this past weekend with L’Étoile. And thanks to the Opera For All program, a generous amount of Orchestra seats, normally priced at $75 to $145, are made available for the hoi polloi at just 25$. "Rush tickets" are available every Monday at 10am during the season for all performances that week, based on availability. As well, City Opera also sells $12 and $20 tickets for for every performance in the theater’s 4th and 5th ring.
With awe-inspiring set design, in L’Étoile's case this featured large whimsical props seen above, lighting worthy of a concert, the orchestra in the pit, and beautifully made elegant and plush costumes—to say nothing of the opera itself, and the performers on stage—these tickets one of the best values in New York City.
