I am an American living in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico since 2019. The last production here in Merida was Saturday May 7, 2022. I am very disappointed and sad that the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 season of live from the met productions have not returned to Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. What happened?
Thank in advance of your response.

Hi George, thanks for your comment. What we could see these past months is that there number of places where those shows were displayed has decreased significantly. In Mexico City, we could only see the Auditorio National and the next available place is in Cuernavaca. We share your disappointment! 🙁 Cheers and thank you for reading us.
