Several performing arts organizations also shared their take. The Metropolitan Opera posted a backstage video on TikTok captioned, “This one’s for you, @tchalamet.”

Meanwhile, the Seattle Opera jokingly offered a discount code for tickets to Carmen, writing, “Timmy, you’re welcome to use it too.”

Deepak Marwah, principal of Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School, where Chalamet studied performing arts, wrote in an Instagram statement, “At LaGuardia, we do not rank art forms. Timothee, you come from this world. We know your heart, and we know you know better.”
