Join us for a Digital Celebration!

While our stages remain dark due to the ongoing health crisis, we are excited to invite you to participate in a new virtual Guild event. This online gala will celebrate the 25th anniversaries of the Met debuts of our four honorees: Stephanie Blythe, Christine Goerke, Denyce Graves, and Patricia Racette.

With appearances from our honorees — as well as from more of opera’s other biggest names — and memorable speeches, musical performances, and video tributes all honoring the spectacular careers of these honorees, it is sure to be an operatic celebration that you will not want to miss.

We are offering two ways to view this digital event — either by hosting an in-home viewing party for you and your friends, or by purchasing a single ticket to view the event.

How It Works:

1. Select and purchase one of the below viewing options. If purchasing a party package you will be contacted by a Guild staff member within 48 business hours of your purchase to begin discussing the technical components of streaming in your home. If purchasing a viewing ticket you will receive an email with a password and link to the event screening webpage one week in advance of the event. 

2. On the day of the event, click the link and enter the password you’ve been provided and enjoy the gala! 

3. After the event, you will have access to view the gala for 10 days, using the same link and password you’ve been provided.
