Join the esteemed Metropolitan Opera Club for a night at the Opera!
Puccini's Turandot is one of the world's most popular operas and is an epic fairy-tale set-in China. Turandot is loosely based on a play by 18th-century Italian dramatist Carlo Gozzi.
Founded in 1893, the Metropolitan Opera Club is a private club located on the Dress Circle level of the Metropolitan Opera House and is a unique cultural institution, providing its members the opportunity for added enjoyment of the Metropolitan Opera's world class repertoire. The Club's exclusive premises, at the heart of the Lincoln Center, offers a friendly, collegiate atmosphere.
Their members come from all walks of life and, while they maintain a strict standard of dress - men in white tie and tails or tuxedos (for which they are nicknamed the penguins) and women in evening gowns - the Club's ambiance is friendly and elegant.
Price: $235 per person plus tax and service charge.
Includes a ticket to the Thursday, April 11th performance of Turandot, a three-course meal, and wine served with dinner.
Dress Code: Black Tie Optional - Black tie optional still allows anyone to show up in formal attire, but it also allows men to attend in dark suits and ties and women to wear dresses, suits, or pant suits rather than strictly black tie for men and evening gowns for women.
Menu: Members will start out with a Smoked Salmon appetizer with with Crème Fraiche, Pickled Onion, Chopped Egg, Capers and a everything cracker. Following the appetizer, the entree will consist of a Tenderloin of Beef served with Au Gratin potatoes and Grilled Asparagus. For dessert, a Chocolate Mousse cake with a raspberry coulis.
The food will be paired with a Chalk Hill Chardonnay for a white wine and a Chateau LaRose-Trintaudon, Cabernet Sauvignon.
The club will open at 5:30pm and begin serving at 6:00pm, prior to the 7:30pm curtain.
Please note, because this is a ticketed event, all registrations are considered final sale. Due to the incredible opportunity, we would like as many members to be able to attend as possible. We are limiting members to one guest each.
