The Metropolitan Opera’s 2022-23 season may well have been the end of an era.
As a repertory house and the country’s largest performing arts organization, it juggles multiple works at a time.
The days of being America’s grand repertory company, of 20-plus titles a year, could be slowly entering the rearview mirror.
So it was fitting that, last month, the Met said farewell to one of the shows that typified the era that’s ending: its “Aida” from the 1980s.
The production was typical Met: hardly cheap but sturdy and flexible, into which you could toss singers with relatively little rehearsal.
