TICKETS + INFORMATION

Simon McBurney’s celebrated maximalist production of Mozart’s magical, disjointed, über-melodic singspiel comes to the Met, with its reconfigured auditorium, video and audio effects, flying singers, and so much more. Will we like it as much in New York as they did in Amsterdam and London and elsewhere?

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Both P.J. Clarke’s and the remorselessly mediocre Cafe Fiorello swear they’ll be open after the evening performance of this opera ends. Before, maybe the dependable neighborhood French at La Boite en Bois. Saturday matinée, maybe Épicerie Boulud.
