NEW YORK (WABC) -- The Metropolitan Opera is returning to an indoor performance to mark the 20th anniversary of 9/11.

The company is planning a special performance of Verdi's Requiem.

The concert marks the first performance in the Metropolitan Opera House since the pandemic closure in March 2020.

Five-hundred free tickets are being set aside for the families of victims.

The remaining tickets for the public will cost $25.

Audience members must be vaccinated and masks are required.

The Met previously announced it would resume indoor performances on Sept. 27.

Mike Richards is stepping down "effective immediately" amid resurfaced controversial remarks.
