The Experience

Enter the behind-the-scenes world of the Metropolitan Opera and relish a coveted look at what it takes to make operatic magic during a 60-minute VIP backstage tour. You'll access the inner workings of one of the world's premiere performing arts organizations as your Met Opera guide brings you to the scenic and carpentry shops, rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms, and stage area. After your tour is done, you'll revel in an intimate 30-minute discussion with Stephanie Spangler from the Met Opera, a unique opportunity not available on the regular tour. Exclusively for Mastercard cardholders. Stephanie Spangler is the Costume Director at the Metropolitan Opera. In an average Met season, Stephanie oversees costume shop and wardrobe, wig and makeup teams for 18-25 operas, 200+ performances, and roughly 4,000 costumes. She works with award-winning designers and directors to bring costume designs from concept to stage. Previously, she was the Met's Head of Wardrobe, overseeing a team of 40 responsible for dressing international opera stars and hundreds of performers in the Met's iconic productions.
