Opera streaming

[cahn]

Everyone knows the Met and other opera companies are streaming opera free right now, right?

Tonight the Met is streaming Eugene Onegin, so everyone should watch it and then report back to me :)

(In two weeks the Met will be streaming their Don Carlo. Just Saying :P )

Yes! I've seen very little opera previously (Carmen at the Montreal Opera and, uh, Nixon in China at the Met) but one of my very good friends is a big opera buff, so we've been group-watching opera with a few other friends. I saw La Fille du régiment and, today, Eugene Onegin (minus about 20 minutes at the beginning because I had a schedule conflict).

Oooooh, so what did you think?

Group-watching opera sounds like SO much fun. I have been able to coordinate watching with zdenka a couple of times and a couple of times have had realtime Reactions at alcanis_ivennil, which have been great fun, but these days with the kids my schedule is so fragmented that I can only watch things five minutes at a time, alas. One day I'll be able to do this socially with other people again :)

OMG, I used to group watch Bollywood movies with two dear friends of mine. Opera group watching sounds even better!

When my schedule becomes less totally fragmented (possibly years from now, gaaaaah) LET'S DO IT

That would be SO FUN!
