My first reaction was La Fanciulla del West. But...they're doing it this year in Chicago, so I checked and yep at the Met as well. Hey a cowboy opera - and its a hoot. Honestly, Deborah Voigt wouldn't be my first choice for Minni (it looks like the principles are the same in both productions), but you'll be able to see it this year if you want to.
I don't know what production the Met is doing, but Lyric is reviving the 1991 Harold Prince production which was amazing. I've been waiting, uh, 20 years to see this again. (Unfortunately, no Placido Domingo this time around).
So go for the Magic Flute. Pay the astounding price and have a once in a lifetime experience. I've been to La Scala and the Prague State Opera and my only regret was having pretty crappy seats both times.
