The Metropolitan Opera has been in operation since 1883 when its home was on 39th Street and Broadway. In 1966 the Met Opera moved into its current Wallace Harrison-designed theater at Lincoln Center. The Met Opera House at Lincoln Center is the largest repertory opera house in the world, surpassing the Sydney Opera House seating capacity by thousands of occupants.
