Recently, I've had several conversations about the next season of "The Met: Live in HD" and the various cinemas participating. So, I decided to post the schedule for the 2010–11 Season. It is so exciting for me to know while I am watching a live opera at the AMC Cinema in Woodland Hills that my friends in Toronto and my snowbird friends in Florida are watching it at the very same time . And we can discuss it later by phone or email. Thrilling!
Buy your tickets early. They do sell out quickly. Last season, I had to drive 35 miles to Valencia at 8 am (the transmission starts at 10 am Pacific, 1 pm New York) because it was the closest cinema where I could find an available ticket.
