Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Metropolitan Opera has cancelled their 2020-2021 season. However, they have announced their plans for the 2021-2022 season. 
The Met has an 89-year tradition of broadcasting live performances to millions of radio listeners globally on the Toll Brothers–Metropolitan Opera International Radio Network. This offered the springboard for the Live in HD program. Most of the HD transmissions are simulcast on radio.
The Live in HD events are enhanced by specially produced features that offer audiences a look behind the scenes. These include live interviews with singers, directors, designers, and stage technicians, as well as documentaries and other short features.
Tickets for all live and encore productions are $25.00 per person and can be purchased at the door. Advance reservations are not required.
