Top New York Opera

Immersive experience suggesting formal/dinner wear and masks. Traversed the Opera House behind the scenes; greeted with champagne. Sixty visitors entering at a time made for truly close-up and personals groupings. The costumes, music, actors were just as I remembered; was transported in time back to Boardway. Began with "Masquerade" and never disappointed after that. Behind the scenes staff were numerous and watchful. Would I do again? Absolutely! Photography not permitted; women must check their bags; heels not allowed. An elevator is available; lots of stairs and escaltors to transverse.

This was a totally unique experience. We were spellbound from start to finish. We were both blown away by the creativity and talent. You have to see it.

My husband and I took our niece to see her first opera and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. I was worried about our seat location, because you don't find out where you're sitting until you get there we did know we would be in the orchestra section, but the seats were wonderful, and I really liked that we could read the opera in English on the prompter in front of us. We would definitely book show tickets through Cool Destinations again!

Fabulous location at Lincoln Centre. Massive scene changes were exceptional. All involved performed well. A great experience!

Excellent execution and coordination. You need to understand what you are getting into so read the materials. For my wife and I it was worth it. Performers are very good. This is an active experience and you need to walk, climb stairs. I recommend this experience.

AMAZING. Superbly done in every way. Immersive, intimate, engaging, and interactive. Truly Outstanding performances by the entire cast (except maybe the guy who played Raul tonight, who had a great voice but needs acting lessons). The set design, staging, flow, and use of space were absolutely brilliant. An absolute MUST!!! Guests are instructed to wear a mask, but if you don't have one, the ones they give you are elegant and look nice. More than a show, this is a mesmerizing experience that will move you. One of the coolest things I've ever done.

My wife and me attended La Boheme Thursday 11/14. It was a great venue. This was our first Opera. We had orchestra seats. It was difficult to read the subtitles and watch and listen at the same time. After the first act, I stopped reading the subtitle and just let the music, singing and acting be experienced. This made it more enjoyable. I recommend reading the story in the handout so you get the summery so you don't really need the subtitles. Tour the Opera House as well, its interesting in its own right.

This was the best theatrical experience I have ever attended! I am a well seasoned veteran of enjoying Broadway and Broadway touring shows… But this one may have blown them out of the water! It felt like you were part of the theatrical experience and totally immersive. As you moved throughout the building, it felt like a new part of the show in each room, the crowd was 100% captivated by the story we were watching. I’ve seen the Phantom of the opera before, but this version literally kept taking my breath away in each new scene that unfolded. I highly recommend spending the money to attend because it was worth every cent in the memories made!!

Magical! This was like going to a Broadway show and being on stage as a part of the play. Caution: plenty of stairs traveling from from to room, totally worth the journey.
