The Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HD series returns to cinemas for its 19th season, bringing world-class opera performances live from the stage of the Met in New York to cinemas across the globe, plus exclusive backstage access. The 2025–26 season features an extraordinary lineup, reflecting how opera is changing at the Met, balancing timeless classics with accessible new work that is advancing the art form and attracting younger and more diverse audiences.

When the Metropolitan Opera was founded in 1883 — and for the first decades of its existence — new and recent work by the likes of Verdi, Wagner, and Puccini were the norm. And as the largest performing-arts company in the United States and the country’s premier opera house, The Met will continue to present the music of these great composers long after their operas have come to define the standard repertory. But for the art form to continue, new works need to be presented — and the Met has made that a priority in their programming.

Met: Live in HD is the largest provider of alternative cinema content in the world, with more than 30 million tickets sold since the inception of the series in 2006. The series brings live Met performances to more than 2,200 movie theatres and performing arts centres in more than 70 countries.

PERFORMANCES

ABOUT the Metropolitan Opera

Known as the venue for the world’s greatest voices, The Metropolitan Opera was founded in 1883, with its first opera house built on Broadway and 39th Street by a group of wealthy businessmen who wanted their own theatre. In the company’s early years, the management changed course several times, first performing everything in Italian (even Carmen and Lohengrin), then everything in German (even Aida and Faust), before finally settling into a policy of performing most works in their original language, with some notable exceptions.

The Metropolitan Opera is a vibrant home for the most creative and talented singers, conductors, composers, musicians, stage directors, designers, visual artists, choreographers, and dancers from around the world. The Met has been elevating its theatrical standards by significantly increasing the number of new productions, staged by the most imaginative directors working in theatre and opera, and has launched a series of initiatives to broaden its reach internationally. These efforts to win new audiences prominently include the successful Live in HD series of high-definition performance transmissions to movie theatres everywhere.
