The feds have settled a civil suit against the Metropolitan Opera for discriminating against operagoers who use wheelchairs.
The agreement came shortly after the suit, which charged the Met with violating the Americans with Disabilities Act, was filed yesterday in Manhattan federal court.
It accused the opera of failing to offer enough wheelchair-accessible seats and wheelchair-friendly elevators at Lincoln Center, of lacking a legally mandated visual alarm system for the hearing impaired and of otherwise failing “to make reasonable modifications to its policies, practices and procedures” to make the building available to the handicapped.
