The Metropolitan Opera moved to Lincoln Center in 1966, joining a mid-20th-century cultural complex reshaping Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

Culturally, the Met sits at the intersection of New York’s long operatic tradition and contemporary staging—Julie Taymor’s production leans theatrical and visual, making Mozart accessible for family audiences.
