The place holds 3,700 strong! One of the top three largest opera houses in the world! The caption (English and German) in front of you (even my cheap seat) is so convenient; I hope they include Chinese and Spanish in the future. Lots picture spots so dress pretty and have a great time!

How does it get better for pre-opera than Bar Boulud? The location is perfect, across the avenue from Lincoln ctr and easy safe walk from Columbus circle as well. The food is delicious, quick to the table, and price pre-covid, with casual yet modern ambience. My favorite is the snail appetizer ! This is a great spot for the second date!
