These free streams will present encores of past performances from its famed Live in HD series. 

The encore presentations will begin at 7:30 p.m. EST each night on the company’s official website and will then be available for an additional 20 hours thereafter.

Each showcase will also be viewable on the Met Opera on demand apps.

We’d like to provide some grand opera solace to opera lovers in these extraordinarily difficult times,” said Met General Manager Peter Gelb in a press release. 
“Every night, we’ll be offering a different complete operatic gem from our collection of HD presentations from the past 14 years.”
