New York, NY (August 15, 2023) — Facing economic headwinds, the Metropolitan Opera Guild, a separate independent not-for-profit organization from the Metropolitan Opera, announced today that it will scale back its operations this fall. The Guild's monthly publication, Opera News, will continue under the editorial direction of the U.K.-based Opera magazine beginning December 2023. In addition, the Met will incorporate the Guild's largest educational activity—the dress-rehearsal program that each year brings 12,000 school children to the Metropolitan Opera House—into its extensive public-programming offerings. This coming season, the Met's HD Live in Schools program, a cornerstone of the company's educational efforts, will operate in nearly 70 school districts across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C. The Guild membership program will continue as part of the Metropolitan Opera's membership initiatives.
