El Met, de tanto en tanto, prepara alguna celebración; en este caso la gala de los 100 años. Lo bueno de estos conciertos es que permite ver a los mejores y en esta, quizás por ser número redondo están todos, pero todos todos. Varias generaciones en el escenario cantando papeles emblemáticos; en cuanto al programa, va en gustos.
