The Met: Live in HD marks Its Eleventh Season with 10 Live Transmissions, including Five Operas new to the series
The series will reach 70 countries on six continents in 2016-17, as well as 750 theaters in the United States
Since its inception in 2006, the series has brought a wide selection of classical masterpieces to the big screen, presenting 87 live performances of operas—ranging from Bellini and Berlioz to Thomas Adès and Philip Glass—to an estimated 17 million opera lovers worldwide
Since its initial broadcast in 2006 to 76 movie theaters, The Met: Live in HD has grown exponentially, with classical music lovers around the world demonstrating that opera can have a place alongside Hollywood blockbusters in their local movie theaters. More than 17 million tickets have been sold over the first nine years of the series, and distribution has expanded every season to match the growing global demand for classical music on the big screen. The Met: Live in HD is now the largest provider of alternative cinema content in the world and a consistent new revenue stream for the Met, with average net profits of approximately $17 million per season in recent years.
