Earlier this week, Universal Studios announced it would make several of its upcoming wide release films including The Invisible Man and The Hunt available on demand as soon as this Friday. The Met is not the first organization to augment its online programming in response to the crisis. “We’d like to provide some grand opera solace to opera lovers in these extraordinarily difficult times,” said Met general manager Peter Gelb.
In a gesture of generosity for its patrons and the public, the Met moved quickly to make some of its offerings available online, beginning with selections of filmed operas from its extensive Live in HD catalog. The next stream, a 2015 performance of Verdi’s Il Trovatore, is scheduled for Wednesday evening at 7:30 Eastern. On Friday, the Met, alongside a number of other institutions, announced it would be canceling all performances through March 31 in an effort to reduce the spread of the virus. The New York Metropolitan Opera’s website crashed Monday night as tens of thousands of people attempted to simultaneously stream George Bizet’s Carmen, the first in a series of operas the Met will make available online, free of charge, after closing its doors in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.
