The answer to your question was found at the met website. Hope this helps you. Have fun!!
Q.
My fiancé is treating me to a night at the Met, and I don’t know what to wear!!! Do I have to go out and find one of those glasses on a stick that Mrs. Howell used to use on Gilligan’s Island? Please help!
A.
They’re called “lorgnettes,” and they haven’t been spotted at the Met in about 80 years. But, hey, don’t let that stop you. If you feel like making lorgnettes hip again, wielding a set on the Grand Tier would be a great place to start.
There’s no formal dress code at the Met. That said, don’t bother with black tie unless it’s a gala, and, on the other hand, if you go for a more casual look, don’t pick that pair of jeans you’ve had since the eighties with the rips in the knees and the safety pins running down the length of each leg. Of course, there’s really no better opportunity to get dressed up than a night at the opera, and there’s no limit to how fabulous you can be, if you’re in the mood to make a splash.

Sunday terrific. superb gown and shoes. A skirt with a particularly shirt might additionally artwork. because that's a school affair, no person expects opera formality ( long gown & gloves). I particularly have taken many scholars to stay theater and the opera besides simply by fact the symphony. I make it very sparkling that denims and turn flops are actually not suited till we are going to the sea coast.

Wear what you feel comfortable in.
For many people, a night at the opera is also an opportunity to wear nice clothes and drink champagne during the intermission, but no obligation. Just enjoy !
