Knowing that you will be able to continually go back to a great performance is a treasure that is so hard to come by in live theater and the Met’s ability to capitalize on this is fantastic. Not only do they connect with audiences worldwide, but they immortalize performances and interpretations of beloved works and performers for years and years to come. One of the most hotly anticipated parts of every Met Opera season has to be the Live in HD Series.Īrguably the most successful aspect of Peter Gelb’s tenure with the company, the video recordings of live performances work on so many levels.
