Hello. I hope you’re all doing OK.

OperaWire has an excellent roundup post of all the opera houses and companies offering free streaming right now. I’ve used it extensively while putting together the schedule below. Not all opera houses on OperaWire’s list are on my schedule; omissions are mainly due to my limited time and to my not being able to find any kind of sensible streaming schedule on La Monnaie’s website.

Also, the Berlin Philharmoniker is offering free streaming with the voucher BERLINPHIL.

This past week, I streamed Péter Eötvös’s Tri Sestry from Wiener Staatsoper. And here’s a sample of the links below: Canada’s Against the Grain Theatre and their version of La Bohème.
