I will focus primarily on the Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HD series that plays live broadcasts to movie theaters all over the world. The San Francisco Opera Cinemacast schedule isn’t out yet,  and I haven’t yet seen their broadcasts. In addition, I will periodically discuss opera in the park, DVDs, and any other non-traditional opera performance.

“Popcorn Opera” is my favorite way to introduce people to opera! If you’re still not too sure about the whole thing, the Met Opera has released all previous seasons of Live in HD on DVD! For less than the price of the movie ticket to see one of these live simulcasts, you can buy the DVD of one of last year’s operas! I think this is absolutely fantastic and I can’t wait to build my collection of DVDs of these memorable performances. Not only will the DVD be a memory of the actual performance, but it also will remind me of the wonderful times with friends that I’ve introduced to opera.
