纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼上周公布了一项计划，将向大都会歌剧院赠送7万张免费门票，这在社交媒体上引发了批评者的不满，他们认为纽约市民面临着更紧迫的问题。
据市长办公室的一份新闻稿显示，这项名为“全民歌剧”的合作项目由市政府和林肯中心大都会歌剧院共同发起，允许从未观看过歌剧的纽约市民参与每月一次的抽奖，赢取从《麦克白》到《波西米亚人》等多部剧目的门票。
曼达尼办公室的一名发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，该市并未为该项目出资。大都会歌剧院将从其未售出的座位池中捐赠门票，约占其季演出容量的10%，而市政府将协助推广和发放这些门票。
在宣布这项最新免费福利的视频中，曼达尼与《波西米亚人》的剧组人员一同亮相，他告诉观众：“每一位纽约人都应该有机会观看这场演出，无论他们钱包里有多少钱。”
他还提到了前纽约市市长菲奥雷洛·拉瓜迪亚的“人民歌剧”项目，该项目于1943年成立，旨在提供平价门票，2013年申请破产，后于2016年重新启动。

“这种艺术形式本应人人都能观赏，”他说。
尽管许多自由派人士对曼达尼的举措表示赞赏，但社交媒体上的保守派人士很快就对他的声明进行了嘲讽。该声明在X平台上的浏览量超过600万次，被认为是 priorities 错位的典型案例。
前洛杉矶市长候选人、真人秀明星斯宾塞·普拉特在X平台上发帖称：“上几代亿万富翁为艺术事业捐赠了大量资金。如今的自闭症亿万富翁们却无视文化，将所有慈善资源都用于关注1万英里外的农民的生育能力，然后对自己在这里如此不受欢迎、无法获批数据中心感到困惑。”
曼达尼的可负担革命遭遇挫折，租金飙升至历史新高

“他的整个套路都是为了让你相信，有一群濒临饿死的底层民众渴望歌剧门票这类东西，却因为受到压迫而无法获得，”纽smax电视台的罗布·施密特在X平台上发帖称。“这全是胡扯，他只是在浪费纳税人的钱。”
“给穷人搞个随机的娱乐抽奖？这他妈是什么？《饥饿游戏》吗？”音乐视频导演约瑟夫·卡恩在X平台上发帖称。
纽约市商家反抗曼达尼的政府直营杂货店：“注定会酿成灾难”

“你见过有人在歌剧厅里打架吗？”喜剧演员丹尼·波利修克在X平台上发帖称。“你想见识一下吗？现在机会来了！”
但这并非曼达尼首次推行其民主社会主义议程。今年8月，纽约市高中生通过与剧院发展基金（TDF）的合作项目，获得了数千张免费和折扣的百老汇门票。
他的其他以可负担性为核心的提案，包括免费公交、市属杂货店、租金冻结和免费儿童保育项目，也引发了人们对扩大政府规模和纳税人负担的担忧。
与大都会歌剧院的合作项目将永久持续下去，并将延续到下一演出季，门票将在整个场馆发售，站票除外。

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a plan last week to give away 70,000 free tickets to the Metropolitan Opera House, firing up critics on social media who argue there are more pressing issues facing New Yorkers.
“Opera for All,” a partnership between the city and the Metropolitan Opera at Lincoln Center, will allow New Yorkers who have never attended a performance to enter a monthly lottery for tickets to productions ranging from Macbeth to La Bohème, according to a press release from the mayor’s office.
A spokesperson for Mamdani’s office told Fox News Digital the city is not paying for the program. The Metropolitan Opera is donating tickets from its pool of unsold seats, representing about 10% of its seasonal capacity, while the city will help promote and distribute them.
In a video announcing the latest giveaway, Mamdani appeared alongside the cast of La Bohème, telling viewers that “every New Yorker should have the opportunity to see this no matter how much money is in their pocket.”
He also highlighted former New York City Mayor Fiorello La Guardia’s “People’s Opera,” which was founded in 1943 to offer affordable tickets before filing for bankruptcy in 2013 and relaunching in 2016.
GROCERS ISSUE WARNING OVER MAMDANI’S TAXPAYER-BACKED STORES: ‘WE’RE GOING TO GO AFTER’ THEM

“This art form was meant to be seen by everyone,” he said.
While many liberals have touted Mamdani’s move, conservatives on social media were quick to ridicule Mamdani’s announcement, which was viewed over 6 million times on X, calling it a case of misplaced priorities.
In a post on X, former Los Angeles mayoral candidate and reality TV star Spencer Pratt wrote, “Prior generations of billionaires gave endowments to the arts. Today’s autistic billionaires ignore culture and spend all their philanthropy fixated on the fecundity of peasants 10K miles away, then are baffled by why they’re so hated here & can’t get data centers approved.”

“His entire shtick is designed to make you believe there’s this starving underworld that longs for things like opera tickets but is so oppressed they cannot attain them,” Newsmax’s Rob Schmitt posted on X. “It’s all bull—- and he’s just wasting your money.”
“A random entertainment lottery for the poors? What the f— is this? The Hunger Games?” music video director Joseph Kahn posted on X.
NYC BUSINESS OWNERS REVOLT OVER MAMDANI’S GOVERNMENT-RUN GROCERY STORES: ‘DOOMED FOR DISASTER’

“Ever see a fight break out at an opera?” comedian Danny Polishchuk posted on X. “Do you want to? Now’s your chance!”
But this is not the first time Mamdani has pushed his democratic socialist agenda. In August, New York City high school students were offered thousands of free and discounted Broadway tickets through a partnership with the Theatre Development Fund (TDF).
His other affordability-focused proposals, including fare-free buses, city-owned grocery stores, rent freezes and free child care programs, have also sparked concerns over expanded government and taxpayer burdens.
The partnership with the Metropolitan Opera will remain permanent and continue into next season, with tickets available throughout the venue, excluding standing-room tickets.
