Run time: approximately 1 hour and 48 minutes Among the notable figures in the film are famed soprano Leontyne Price, who opened the new Met in 1966 in Samuel Barber’s Antony and Cleopatra Rudolf Bing, the Met’s imperious General Manager who engineered the move from the old house to the new one Robert Moses, the unstoppable city planner who bulldozed an entire neighborhood to make room for Lincoln Center and Wallace Harrison, whose quest for architectural glory was never fully realized.
