The Best of Classical Music from The City for Everyone
The Metropolitan Opera is closed and will not open before the end of the year. But the Met has been doing what they can for those of us who just can’t wait. Every night, you can watch a free stream of some of their best Live in HD productions, and even though there’s nothing quite like hearing opera live, these do help scratch the itch. This Sunday, it’s an opera by the French composer Jules Massenet called Thaïs. It’s the story of a doomed romance between a courtesan and a monk, and it features one of the most heavenly tunes in all of opera – the Méditation. The production features Renee Fleming, this Sunday at 7:30. A link to the stream will be available via the Met’s homepage and on wqxr.org/concertwatch.
