NEW YORK—The Metropolitan Opera season is getting shorter, along with some of its shows.
The Met said June 1 it is pushing back opening night by nearly 3 1/2 months to the latest start in the company’s 137-year history and calling off four of next season’s new productions in fallout from the CCP virus pandemic. It also announced about $60 million in emergency gifts had balanced its 2019–2020 budget.
