Why did the Metropolitan Opera create this series? Created by a grant from Metropolitan Opera sponsors The Neubauer Family Foundation, this Emmy Award-winning series is the Met's answer to the growing economic crises which has negatively affected the pocketbook of every major classical music institution. Growing a new generation of opera lovers is nearly impossible with music education taking cuts all over the country and parents more worried about paying rent than increasing their children's cultural awareness. The Met: Live in HD presents an innovative approach to opera by bringing the extraordinary classical performances of the Met to schools and movie theaters nationwide.

Educational programs for The Met: Live in HD are available. Besides the The Met: Live in HD film series, opera program guides, educational materials, and even live performances are available for educators. Additional behind-the-scenes footage hosted by famous celebrities accompanies The Met: Live in HD educational programming. Public schools, private schools, universities, and homeschool groups can all benefit from the exciting operatic experience of The Met: Live in HD. It's even available on the Roku!



The Met: Live in HD includes visits to movie theaters from Anchorage to Santa Cruz to Miami and New York City. Imagine seeing and experiencing Wagner or Puccini in surround sound and munching on your favorite movie theater snacks. Past The Met: Live in HD seasons included exciting opera favorites like Richard Wagner's Das Reingold, Adam's Nixon in China, Verdi's Don Carlo, Puccini's La Fanciulla del West, and Wagner's Die Walkure.

If you want to experience live opera but can't afford ticket prices, look into university opera performances. While simpler in scale and talent, university opera performances give you and your family an opportunity to enjoy emerging opera stars and timeless operatic tales like Don Carlo for about five to ten dollars per person. Enjoy a fun family night out at the opera!
