Metropolitan Opera House

It served as a church, known as “The Met”. I got inside for a brief look-around in the mid-1980s. A really huge house, with typical opera house tiered seating and lots of boxes. It was in deteriorated status at that time. The stage was massive. I have heard that it was demolished within recent years — can anyone confirm? Oscar Hammrstein’s opera house in New York is now the Manhatten Center near Penn Station, off Eighth Avenue. The Philadelphia Met was indeed a prominent movie theatre on North Broad St.
