I've never been to the opera and have been considering it recently, specifically the upcoming Marriage of Figaro performance. The least expensive seats at $30 are along the very, very back row of the balcony. I don't really want to pay much more since I'm testing the waters so to speak, but I also don't want to experience it for the first time from that far back. I've been on tours of the Opera House a few times and that very back row is staggeringly far and vertiginous. Forgive my frugality, but does the Opera House release tickets prior to the show at a lower cost? Would main floor tickets go at $30 instead of $110 if I simply asked at the box office before a performance?
