The Met Opera HD|LIVE: Twenty Years of the Met in Cinemas: An Anniversary Celebration

Twenty Years of the Met in Cinemas is a celebration of the Met’s two decades of onstage glory as experienced in movie theaters, featuring highlights from the company’s collection of more than 185 extraordinary onscreen performances.

Hosted by star soprano Renée Fleming, this special presentation will showcase unforgettable moments from some of opera’s greatest stars, culled from the series’ vast archive of transmissions

The Metropolitan Opera’s award-winning series of live movie theater transmissions brings world-class opera productions direct from the Met stage in New York to cinemas around the globe.

These broadcasts are designed to give audience members an “insider’s view” of the production, enhancing the experience beyond just the performance.

Key behind-the-scenes elements typically include:

- Backstage Footage: Live feeds that show the action behind the curtain.
- Interviews: Exclusive, in-depth conversations with the stars of the opera.
- Intermissions: Specially produced content that gives context to the production, often including interviews with directors or designers.
