Throughout the pandemic the Met has kept itself in the audiences’ minds and hearts through several routes. The Nightly Opera Streams, where you can watch one opera free each day has been a great gift for opera lovers who can’t pay the ticket prices at Lincoln Center or who live too far away to see them live or who have missed the legendary performances.

The Met has also been staging special events for which it has been charging the paltry fee of $20 to see some of their biggest current stars singing arias, songs, duets, and other lollypops for our pleasure.
