Not sure this is answerable:
I'm trying to find actual cast rosters from the productions the Met toured with during the late '70s. ....Can anyone here make suggestions where to look?
The Met's online database is at
http://archives.metoperafamily.org/archives/frame.htmOr if you're at the regular Met website, you can click the "Archives" link near the bottom of the page, then on the next page click "MetOpera Database".
Just put
atlanta in the "Search box" and the date range in the appropriate boxes, and you'll get a list of performances.
Based your "the late '70s" comment here are some of them:
