In their new history of the company, the first in thirty years, each of the chronologically sequenced chapters surveys a composer or a slice of the repertoire, bringing to life dominant personalities and memorable performances of the time. Spanning the decades between the Gilded Age and the age of new media, this story of the Met concludes by tipping its hat to the hugely successful \u201cLive in HD\u201d simulcasts, and raising the issues that confront the company today.<\/p>\n<p>Free admission but early arrival is recommended.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lincolncenter.org\/show\/life-upon-the-wicked-stage-new-books-in-the-performing-arts-grand-opera-the-story-of-the-met\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.lincolncenter.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday, January 14 06pm 40 Lincoln Center Plaza, 111 Amsterdam Avenue, just below 65th Street, New York, NY 10023<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=60737"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60737\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":60739,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60737\/revisions\/60739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=60737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=60737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=60737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
