The Met live in HD

The 2010-11 season has been announced, with 11 operas including 2 in the Ring cycle. This, to me, is the perfect marriage of the arts and high technology and is perhaps the best national arts event in the country now. Some random thoughts:

  • This needs to be expanded to reach rural communities.
  • Here in Portland, in the west, shows start at 10 a.m. Saturday and seem to be a geriatric event. Music students should be here, despite the time! A disappointment that they aren't.
  • More "encore" rebroadcasts, at convenient times, should be available.
  • This approach should expand to include concerts, plays and such. For that matter, even sporting events. More than presently.
  • I love the Met series! My favorite arts event now.
