Education at the Met

The Met’s Education Department is committed to increasing access to opera for audiences of all ages–whether in the opera house, at a movie theater, or in a classroom. We provide free learning resources for teachers, students, and families, in addition to programs that invite the wider community to engage more deeply with the art form.
