“It is not eight o’clock, and a Wagner night at Covent Garden!”: Opera from Your Couch

For those who enjoy opera—even when it doesn’t feature the famous contralto Miss Irene Adler—the Metropolitan Opera in NY is streaming a different performance from their Live in HD series each night, providing one more way to enjoy cultural experiences while confined to your home.

Selected upcoming performances:

• March 29: Wagner’s Tännhauser (Holmes loved Wagner, per REDC)
• March 31: Rossini’s The Barber of Seville
• April 1: John Adams’s Nixon in China
• April 4: Verdi’s Macbeth

Check the full schedule and available supplementary material at the Met’s site.
