Future Seasons at the Met

LAST UPDATED: 27 May 2009

Brad Wilber has invited Sieglinde to partner with him in order to provide a temporary home for his famous file of information on Metropolitan Opera feature seasons. So here it is, pending the unveiling of original host John Patterson's Operaphile project. As always, this list is compiled as reliably as possible, but should not to be taken as fact, nor is it affilated with the Met in any way. As always, if you have corrections, deletions, or additions, please contact Brad directly: Bradley.Wilber(at)houghton.edu.
