NYC Met Opera Strikes Deal with Musicians Union; IATSE Local One is Still Locked Out

The Metropolitan Opera reached a tentative agreement Tuesday on a four-year contract with the American Guild of Musical Artists, one of three major labor deals needed for the New York company to resume performances in September.

The deal for the chorus, singers, dancers, actors, stage managers and staff directors would start August 1, if ratified in a vote scheduled May 24. The new contract would start following the expiration of the current contract.
