Since its initial broadcast in 2006, The Met: Live in HD has grown exponentially with classical music lovers from around the world proving opera can have a place in local movie theaters. It is now the largest provider of alternative cinema content in the world that reaches more than 2,000+ venues in countries across six continents. Rigoletto This season's Rigoletto is a bold new take on Verdi’s timeless tragedy from Bartlett Sher.

A second run of performances in the spring features soprano Kristina Mkhitaryan, and tenor Stephen Costello, conducted by Karel Mark Chichon.
