#News Reports from users suggest the Metropolitan Opera has quietly pulled most remaining live streams this season—keeping only Saturday matinees. Several March–May performances have disappeared from the schedule. Have you noticed changes on your end? #Opera #MetOpera
Today's #MetOpera on @pbs.org is perfect: Puccini's #MadameButteefly another story of abuse & betrayal by 🇺🇸 #OrangePretender 🎶 "un bel di vedremo"

#DojaCat calling out #TimothéeChalamet for saying “no one cares” about opera and ballet was already iconic — but then the #MetOpera jumped in with a whole performance video dedicated to him.
💬 N Crowd, are opera and ballet underrated or perfectly rated?

Garancas is Back as KUNDRY (yippee) and with Beczala and Mattei !!!
Also La Stemme as Kostelnicka - with also the beloved Allan Clayton)!
But seriously Medee (Cherubini in the transposed italian version...

Rewatching #Rodelinda by #Handel.
Renée Fleming has the most spectacular voice.
Met on Demand has the 2011 production in line.
The nice thing about baroque opera is that the setting is intimate enough so that the production (gorgeous) is not lost on the television.
#Opera #Baroque #MetOpera
Following the #Trump (aka Boor-in-Chief) rant re Bad Bunny singing in Spanish, will the #MetOpera take the hint and stop mounting all those operas in Italian, French, German, etc.?
Listening to the broadcast of Porgy and Bess from the Met.
This work is for Broadway, not for the first opera stage of America.
#metopera
Join Dylan Bodnarick on Saturday at 10:00 AM PT for #MetOpera's production of Arabella. Strauss’s elegant romance brings us the glamour and enchantment of 19th-century Vienna, as soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen makes her debut as a young noblewoman in search of love.

🎭 Denyce Graves retires after her final performance in Porgy and Bess at the Met Opera.
She now begins a new journey—directing and mentoring future talent.#DenyceGraves #OperaNews #MetOpera #PorgyAndBess #StageLegacy #RFXSignals #BlueskyCulture #ArtsUpdate
Saturday's #MetOpera radio broadcast (1/24) is #PorgyAndBess and while it is next to impossible to ruin this opera, the reviews have been uniformly good (with a few quibbles). Looking forward to it.
Met Opera sells its soul to Saudi Arabia for $200M. Western culture is officially bankrupt and on clearance sale to oil autocrats. Pay cuts for artists, billions for sheikhs. The decline of the West in one headline. #MetOpera #CultureWars #SaudiArabia

No luck !
No rush tickets for this matinee with the last performance of I Puritani at the Met Opera.

A woman (Lisette Oropesa) in a vintage dress is kneeling on a surface, holding a wooden frame. She has long, wavy hair and appears to be gazing intently at the frame, which is empty.
I may miss I Puritani at the opera, but I am not willing to pay 436 $ for 2 seats.
Last performance is a Sunday matinee.
I will listen to the broadcast on @francemusique.fr !
