    The Met mourns the loss of director Franco Zeffirelli, a great visionary in our company's history. He created 11 Met productions, including his classic La Bohème, which is the most-performed staging in the company's history. We extend our condolences to his family and friends.

    There is no place for racism in the arts. There is no place for racism in New York City. There is no place for racism in this country or in the world. The Met stands with those raising their voices in support of justice and equality. In memory of #GeorgeFloyd #BlackLivesMatter
