The Met Presents 2 Weeks of Opera Streams in Honor of Black History Month

To celebrate Black History Month, The Metropolitan Opera is presenting a different production every night from February 1–14, 2022 — including classics such as Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess, Rossini’s La Cenerentola, and Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro. 

These performances will showcase some of the most talented African-American singers from the last 50 years, including Leontyne Price, Jessye Norman, Kathleen Battle, Shirley Verrett, Florence Quivar, Lawrence Brownlee, Eric Owens, and more.

The celebration is part of The Met's ongoing series of Nightly Met Opera Streams, a free series of encore Live in HD presentations and classic telecasts streamed on the company's website during COVID-19 lockdowns.

All Nightly Met Opera Streams begin at 7:30pm EST and remain available via metopera.org for 23 hours. The performances are also accessible on all Met Opera on Demand apps.
