Although I haven't tried it, apparently the Metropolitan Opera live streams its performances. I don't know the quality, but if it is anything like we experienced at the Met a few years ago, it should be fabulous. My wife and I got stuck in traffic and arrived a few minutes late. They took us to a small in house theatre where we could watch the first act of Rigoletto and although it is no substitute, I was very impressed with the sound. |
Option two. https://www.medici.tv/en/operas/ Still no information on sound quality or format, but a much broader database. |
Another vote for Medici TV, my wife has a subscription and I watch occasionally. Like everyone, I have my foibles and only really enjoy listening on LP or some Cd's loaded onto my server. I do enjoy going to see the Met and Royal Opera streams in the cinema. I find there is so much cheap Opera on vinyl now, the best option for me is buying vinyl in Charity shops. Fortunately or unfortunately, Classical Vinyl, particularly opera, is almost valueless second hand, at least in the UK. I find really good box sets available for £4, in the charity shops. |
