按个人排名从低到高排列：

Composed by Brett Dean, starring Allan Clayton, Brenda Rae, Rod Gilfry, Sarah Connelly, Sir John Tomlinson, Willian Burden, Jacques Imbrailo, conducted by Nicholas Carter, broadcast on June 4, 2022.

声音比较丰富，但演员用力过度，唱段并没给原剧作加分。Ophelia's mad scene 缺乏感染力，作曲上远远不及 Strauss, Drei Lieder der Ophelia 或 Thomas 的同题作品。

Starring Quinn Kelsey, Piotr Beczala, Rosa Feola, Andrea Mastroni, Varduhi Abrahamyan, conducted by Daniele Rustioni, broadcast on January 29, 2022.

最近被大都会力捧的 Quinn Kelsey 唱得却很一般，Piotr Beczala 也早该退休, 只有 Rosa Feola 唱演俱佳，然而三个人不来电，完全输给最近斯卡拉的 Enkhbat/Sierra/Pretti 版。没觉得魏玛德国版制作比LA赌场版强多少，可以但没必要。

Starring Isabel Leonard, Stephanie Blythe, Emily D'Angelo, Jessica Pratt, Laurent Naouri, conducted by Emmanuel Villaume, broadcast on January 1, 2022.

其实都挺好的，但英语删减版实在没有法语原版的味道。Isabel Leonard 和 Emily D'Angelo 的组合好过 DiDonato/Coote, 但 Jessica Pratt 发挥失常，也有些被 miscast, 没完成好仙后这一点睛之笔。

Starring Will Liverman, Angel Blue, Latonia Moore, conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, broadcast on October 23, 2021.

作品本身概念挺好的，作曲也让人满意。Angel Blue 的 Peculiar Grace 特别好，有望成为她Summertime 之外的另一首 signature aria.

Starring René Pape, David Butt Philip, Ain Anger, Maxim Paster, Aleksey Bogdanov, conducted by Sebastian Weigle, broadcast on October 9, 2021.

老剧目大制作配 veteran cast, 值得反复观看。令人唏嘘的是，René Pape 最近因为酒后发布 anti-pride 言论而上了歌剧圈热搜，估计以后跟 Met 无缘了。

Starring Lise Davidsen, Brenda Rae, Isabel Leonard, Brandon Jovanovich, Johannes Martin Kränzle, Sean Michael Plumb, Wolfgang Brendel, conducted by Marek Janowski, broadcast on March 12, 2022.

同样受到 Met 力捧的 Lise Davidsen 唱得只能说是还行，Strauss 的作曲是上蹿下跳的大曲线，而她的 phrasing 更像一个一个的线段，在 Concert for Ukraine 上的《最后四首歌》同理。Brenda Rae 的花腔被观众 boo 了，有那么几处到了断气和跑调的边缘。Isabel Leonard 的 role debut 令人颇为满意，Brandon Jovanovich 的 Dionysus 无功无过。整体不及 Voigt/Dessay/Mentzer/Margison 版，Elijah Moshinsky 的经典制作加分。

Starring Liudmyla Monastyrska, Yonghoon Lee, Ermonela Jaho, Ferruccio Furlanetto conducted by Marco Armiliato, broadcast on May 7, 2022.

因为众所周知的原因，Anna Netrebko 被 Met 封杀，作为替演的 Liudmyla Monastyrska 圆满地完成了 Met 交给她的反战宣传任务。Monastyrska 的演唱优于 Goerke/Stemme/Guleghina，Yonghoon Lee 虽然表情管理失败但合格地完成了唱段，Ermonela Jaho 本色出演。Franco Zeffirelli 的制作永不过时。

Starring Erin Morley, Joshua Hopkins, Jakub Józef Orliński, Barry Banks, Nathan Berg, conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, broadcast on December 4, 2021.

作词有趣，金句很多。作曲不错，唱段与角色贴合。制作新奇，舞美优秀，设计天马行空。Erin Morley 表现出色，Jakub Józef Orliński 的 Met debut 略不显眼。

Starring Matthew Polenzani, Sonya Yoncheva, Jamie Barton, Etienne Dupuis, Eric Owens, John Relyea, conducted by Patrick Furrer, broadcast on March 26, 2022.

David McVicar 的制作一如既往无可挑剔，整体的演绎一流。然而 Eric Owens 拖了后腿，如果能把他和 John Relyea 换一下，或者把下一季的 Günther Groissböck 提过来，然后 Elīna Garanča 按原计划出演，那就无敌了。Etienne Dupuis 可以说扛起了整部剧，声音里的情感到位，演技在线。男女主角稳定发挥，演出了内心的纠葛，Jamie Barton 狂邪大于妖媚，不时出戏。

Starring Nadine Sierra, Javier Camarena, Artur Rucinski, Christian Van Horn, conducted by Riccardo Frizza, broadcast on May 21, 2022.

Simon Stone 的制作有点生硬，没能揭示出他想要的新内涵。然而好在演绎一流，Artur Rucinski 和 Christian Van Horn 作为配角很是抢眼，而 Nadine Sierra 和 Javier Camarena 的组合堪称完美，在与维国歌 Oropesa/Bernheim 组的擂台赛中更胜一筹。Sierra 在 ins 上表示自己在动态里艾特 Oropesa 时意外发现已被其拉黑，很难不让人怀疑有 Met 资源倾斜的原因。
