Aida or La Traviata?
So I really want to go to the metropolitan opera but I'm not sure what to see. I don't really know what Aida or La Traviata are really about but I know I've heard of them. I wanna see something where I'll be engaged and not too bored. It's my first opera ever. So which do you think would be a better choice? or should I choose something else?

Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
Either are very good choices for a first opera. Both are by Verdi, and was brillant but did not write challenging music (for the listener, that is). It's beautiful and meant to be beautiful and easy for the listener to take pleasure in. I think Aida might be a bit better though. The photos from the Met's production are very lavish, it's sure to be a spectacle if nothing else.
Both stories are easy to follow, and neither are happy endings. You might find the action in Traviata a bit slow, but you'll recognize a good deal of the music and the opera is very powerful, one of the most frequently performed of them all.
Well, I guess that wasn’t terribly helpful...
Go See Aida, if only because I’ve seen Traviata repeatedly and am jealous of your chance to see Aida performed.
