Score Reading Workshops
Saturday morning score reading classes delve into the musical highlights of an opera, giving beginner and intermediate readers the tools to explore the intricate workings of a score and experience a new way of listening to opera. Learn more about how a composer tells a story in music and about important historical events and artistic movements that influenced each opera’s creation. Add a score-desk seat to a performance at the Met and turn your study into a full day of learning, listening, and experiencing opera.
All classes take place before a corresponding performance for each featured opera, and annotated piano-vocal scores are provided as part of the class ticket price, unless otherwise noted. Beginner-level ability to read music is recommended.
INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS: $40 class and materials only | $50 class and score desk seat for performance.
Please note that score desk seats do not offer a view of the stage. All classes take place on Saturday mornings from 10–11:30AM
