MET Opera Live

Now celebrating 20 years in cinemas, The Met: Live in HD is the Metropolitan Opera’s Peabody and Emmy Award–winning series of opera performances transmitted live from the stage of the Met in New York into movie theaters and event spaces worldwide. The series has made the Met the world’s leading provider of alternative cinema content and the only arts institution with an ongoing global series of this scale. When the series launched in 2006, the Met was the first arts company to experiment with alternative cinema content. Since then, the program has expanded, with more than 33 million tickets sold to date, and has been seen in virtually every important world capital from Paris to Cairo, as well as in towns and villages sprinkled across every continent, with the sole exception of Antarctica. The Met continues to make opera accessible to audiences worldwide with an exciting 2026–27 season.
