The first of the Fall 2012, Metropolitan Opera Encore broadcasts at my local cinema will be L'Elisir D'Amore with Anna Netrebko. It will be on Wednesday evening, November 7. I have my ticket, but a storm is moving in and my car is making a whining noise. (I've scheduled a service appointment on Thursday and won't drive much between now and then.) I hope I get to the opera and back home again! While seeing an opera on a big screen can't duplicate the experience of seeing it live, one of the benefits of seeing it this way is that during intermission you see interviews with performers and other people involved in the production as well as seeing parts of the set changes.

On Sunday, CBS Sunday Morning did a segment on the Live in HD Metropolitan Opera broadcasts. You should be able to see it here, probably after an advertisement. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50134467n&tag=contentMain;contentBody

You can then look at a web extra about The Tempest. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50134460n&tag=contentMain;contentBody
