There are 220 performances of 26 operas on the Met’s line-up for 2017⁄ 18 20 of those shows are revival productions, and 10 are set for an HD cinema broadcast. But if we though last year’s announcement was conservative (boasting only one opera on the line-up written in the 21st century), the new season seems to be simply another shade of grey. Of course that’s not true, since with a few exceptions like the Met’s staple La bohème and Barlett’s Sher’s production of Roméo et Juliette from, the operas on their 17⁄ 18 season are different. We did a double take at first glance, the new season looks almost identical to the current one. It was a pretty weird experience to peruse the newly-announced 2017⁄ 18 season for The Metropolitan Opera. 2017/18 at the Met: are conservative seasons the way to go?
