Violette with a fan under a chandelier

Hello! I’m Violette, the Girl of the Golden Met and a teenage devotee of opera and classical music. I started the Girl of the Golden Met blog to spread my passion throughout the world and to connect with other classical music lovers like me.  

Before the pandemic, I was one of the Metropolitan Opera’s most loyal attendees, and certainly the most devoted one under 20. But, alas, the Plague struck and my opera-going has been much limited since then.

In this blog, I write:

  • Reviews of the Met Opera’s live radio broadcasts

  • About my adventures at the Met Opera

  • Spotlights of different classical music pieces

  • Interviews with the opera world’s best artists

  • About the opera world’s goings-on

    And more!

I’d love to hear from you! Please share your thoughts, insights, or recommendations with me in the comments.
