Thanks a lot, Met, for last night’s subversion of “Prince Igor.” Pee-yew.

However, it would be churlish of me to suggest that the overall quality of the Met streams – and the hours of pleasure they have afforded – have been anything less than appreciated, as the superlative gifts that they are.

This week’s opera offerings are especially appealing, beginning with “The Marriage of Figaro,” performed by an all-star cast (tonight); followed by “Hamlet” by Ambroise Thomas (tomorrow); “Capriccio,” Richard Strauss’ final opera, with Renée Fleming (Thursday); a classic performance of “La bohème,” with Renata Scotto and Luciano Pavarotti (Friday), and a double-bill of “Cav” & “Pag” (Sunday).

On Saturday, a change of pace, as the stream will be devoted to the 2017 feature-length documentary “The Opera House,” about the creation and 1966 opening of the new Met at its current home in Lincoln Center.

Surely the pick of the week, however, is Wednesday’s opera: Kaija Saariaho’s “L’Amour de Loin,” the first opera by a woman to be performed at the Met in over 100 years! (The last was Ethel Smyth’s “Der Wald,” back in 1903.) Way to go, Met.

All operas stream free, for 23 hours, beginning each day at 7:30 p.m. (“Prince Igor” is available until 6:30 this evening.) You’ll find teasers and bonus materials when following the link.
