Thanks to the generosity of classmate Frederick Iseman [PC], the Yale School of Music and the Gilmore Music Library now offer Met Opera on Demand: Student Access to members of the Yale community.
Met Opera on Demand includes dozens of recent productions from the Metropolitan Opera’s award-winning Live in HD series. It also offers more than 300 radio broadcast performances dating back to 1936, representing nearly all of the most popular operas as well as many of the Met’s greatest singers including Björling, Callas, Corelli, Horne, Nilsson, Sutherland, Tebaldi, Te Kanawa, and Tucker.
Previously, Iseman made it possible to see the Metropolitan Opera’s Live in HD broadcasts on campus. They are presented in Morse Recital Hall free of charge.
