The Metropolitan Opera, New York, celebrates its centenary this week. All the greatest singers of the time have performed there: Caruso sang over 600 times In the original house, and in our own day the ' new ' Met has seen some of the greaitest triumphs of Pavarotti,
Sutherland, Nilsson and Domingo. The move from the old house to the new in 1966 was only one of several major upheavals in a colourful 100-year history. The story of the Met is told in words and music by many of those who know it best.
