  • Now you know why tickets are so expensive. You see about 30 people on stage but there are hundreds of talented people behind the scenes making it all happen. Without them there would be no show.
  • PLS!!! THE CAPTIONS ARE SO AMAZING!! WHOEVER WROTE IT GIVE HIM/HER A RAISE!!!
  • Toscanini: Italian conductor. Amelita Galli-Curci: Famous soprano. John: Digital Archives Manager. Espon: Model No. WS7520
  • This is why I love live theater. It literally brings together people who are at the top of their game; experts in their fields. So much talent goes into one show.
  • @kungura1
    PLEASE DO ONE FOR THE OPERA SINGERS BEFORE A PERFORMANCE!
  • This is incredible. Crazy that this is all happening in one building
  • This was edited brilliantly, please allow whoevers idea it was to produce a video like this to do more work exactly like this, the whole video made me try to pay attention to every fine detail. I particularly liked learning everyones roles in the orchestra, and how they're sisters or married, just a nice personal touch
  • I’ve lived my entire life backstage, dealing with the pressure (and joy). Your countdown clock made me feel the exact same excitement/anxiety I know so well. Fantastic video! Bravo NYT!
  • Really makes you realize that there are more jobs than just being a Firefighter, Doctor, Actor, Singer, Lawyer, etc. There are many wonderful jobs that work behind the scenes that are just as fun as being the protagonist.
  • Imagine this being your job. I'd absolutely love it. I'm addicted to these Behind the Scenes videos. Can't stop watching.
  • As someone who has sung at the met, the recording of this can be kind of misleading. Before the show is almost like party. In fact, its pretty lax. I thought when I first sang at large theaters especially the met it would be like GOTTA GO, GOTTA GO operation, but it is pretty calm and lax. Part of it is most of the staff and performers have done this for years, so it doesn't really phase them anymore.
  • Does anyone else feel immense pressure and anxiety just thinking about being a single part of this? I would die at age 30 from my heart giving out
  • i love the fact the orchestra is just like gambling during intermission "I better win this round. I need more reed to make more oboe reeds" "You say that every day, Paula" "John, all you ever need is valve oil, and that can last you weeks. My reed will last me a few days" "I need it more. I think my A string is about to break"
