Bringing "unexpected epiphanies" (New Yorker), the Met's Grand Tour, which sold out in previous years, is reinvented for its third season. This must-attend event is a passport to the cultural treasures of multiple countries, allowing "travelers" to experience intimate performances in multiple spaces, as they journey from gallery to gallery.

This season, we offer THE GRAND TOUR: ASIA, a wholly original exploration of performance art from India to China, with dance and musical performances throughout the Florence and Herbert Irving Asian Wing.
