Even during a pandemic, life can be so… operatic.

Here’s this week’s schedule of Metropolitan Opera “Live in HD” encores. You know the drill. The operas stream free, for approximately 23 hours, beginning each day around 7:30 p.m. EDT at metopera.org. Though I have noticed that the switch more often takes place around 6:00. That said, once you hit play, even if it’s 5:00 or 5:30, it’s been my experience that you can watch until the end, provided you don’t try to break. “Nabucco” is available, allegedly, through 6:30 this evening.

Here’s a complete schedule of this week’s offerings. You’ll find teasers and bonus materials when following the link.
