Schedule for Week 17 of Metropolitan Opera's free nightly streams

The Metropolitan Opera has closed, but it’s offering nightly streams of encore presentations from its Live in HD series.

The streams will begin on Monday, March 16th, 2020. Each will begin at 7:30 p.m. on the date listed below, and will remain available on metopera.org until 6:30 p.m. the next day. If you happen to use a Met Opera on Demand app, it will be available there too.

To watch the streams

Scroll down to the opera you want to watch and click on the name of the opera
Remember: it will only be available for free streaming the day listed, starting at 7:30 p.m., and then until 6:30 p.m. the next day. If you click on one that is not currently available, it will give you information about the opera, but will not be available for free streaming. So, only one opera at a time will be available for free streaming, although there will be links for each opera.
You might also see a button that says “Watch Now” on the Metropolitan Opera’s home page, and that one will stream the currently available opera.
