The New York Metropolitan Opera a few years ago started doing live simulcasts of some of their productions into theaters around the country, and around the world. Click here for a link to the upcoming season's schedule. They have been an amazing success! And has brought world class, among the best, opera to scores and scores of people who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to see/hear/experience them.
I've been to several of the live broadcasts....And now with summer, the opera season is over, they are rebroadcasting some of the best, most popular ones....
Two weeks ago I went to see LA BOHÈME. This is such a familiar opera...but it was a treat to see it, and hear it again. Here's a great clip of a very famous aria. Sorry that the subtitles are in French. The soprano is actually singing to her real life husband, who is playing the other lead role.

And then this past week, another one, TURANDOT. This aria is sublime....enjoy it. ;o)
