OPERA OUTINGS
Nancy Froysland-Hoerl, Coordinator

This popular program features trips to Saturday matinee performances at the Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center, New York. Opera excursions include round-trip coach transportation, background information on each opera, and information about restaurants in the Lincoln Center area.

The bus leaves Princeton at approximately 9:00 a.m. to arrive in New York in time for a leisurely lunch and shopping or browsing and returns immediately following the final curtain.

  • October 20: Otello
  • November 24: La Clemenza di Tito
  • December 29: Les Troyens
