Cheap Date: The Metropolitan Opera for $10

Coming to a movie theater near you!  Carmen is one of the first productions of 2010 in The Met: Live in HD series.  You can see it tomorrow and only tomorrow, February 3rd at 6:30pm, playing at your local movie theater.  Carmen was filmed live on January 16th at the Metropolitan Opera House so it will be just like you flew to NYC and you're sitting in the loge at the Opera House, except for only $10! This sounds like a formal occasion.  I might have to break out a full-length gown.  This is definitely what I'll be wearing...


To find a theater near you and to buy tickets:
Click here, enter in your zip code next to your chosen event in the box on the left and click 'buy tickets'.  A list of theaters showing your event will appear.

Here is the official Metropolitan Opera website. Other operas showing this year include Simon Boccanegra, Hamlet, and Armida.

I will be going to the opera tomorrow at the Palo Alto CinéArts theater, maybe with my husband, and maybe not.

To get you excited, here is a clip from the 1984 film version of Carmen, directed by Francesco Rosi...

    Ugh!! I'm such a liar!! It was NOT $10. It was $15 for students and $22 for regular admission. AND it was sold out!! Luckily, they're showing it again in Palo Alto on Monday.

    We made lemonade out of lemons though and saw Crazy Heart instead. Such a good movie! We loved it and are pulling for Jeff Bridges and Maggie Gyllenhaal to win Oscars. Everyone go see it!
