The Metropolitan Opera marks its 76th season with Verdi’s Nabucco and a glittering opening attended by stars from stage and screen. High ticket prices helped push a record gate over $91,000 as luminaries such as Lauren Bacall Dorothy Kilgallen Hope Hampton James Melton and Elsa Maxwell mingled amid costumes from white satin to emeralds. Critics felt the choice of Nabucco was strong historically but uneven theatrically, with W G Rogers noting the performance as a flawed yet celebratory kickoff for the Met.
