Metropolitan Opera Ballet

Prestigious Opera Company Dance Ensemble

The Metropolitan Opera Ballet is not an artist, composer, or band that produces albums, but rather a part of the Metropolitan Opera House (commonly known as "The Met") in New York City, which is one of the most prestigious opera houses in the world. The Met presents a wide array of operas each season, and while it does not have a ballet company of its own, ballet sequences are often part of opera productions. Operas like "Lucia di Lammermoor" by Gaetano Donizetti, "The Tempest" by Thomas Adès, and "Parsifal" by Richard Wagner have been staged at The Met and may include dance elements choreographed for specific productions. The Metropolitan Opera has a history of recording performances and sometimes releases them as albums or DVDs. These recordings feature the singers, orchestra, and chorus of The Met, under the direction of various esteemed conductors. However, these recordings would not be attributed to the Metropolitan Opera Ballet but rather to the Metropolitan Opera as a whole or to the individual principal artists involved.
