While the global pandemic we’ve all come to know as the Coronavirus continues to sweep the nation, more and more New Yorkers are taking the necessary precautions to stay indoors. As if we weren’t already fighting against cabin fever enough after the long winter season, now more than ever, residents of the Empire State are beginning to feel a bit stir crazy. If you’ve already binge-watched your favorite shows and are looking for more ways to keep yourself occupied each night this week, then you cannot miss out on the free event that New York’s Metropolitan Opera will be putting on.

After making the decision last week that they would be temporarily closing and canceling all performances through the month of March to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, the Metropolitan Opera announced this week that they will be putting on a free live-stream each night for all to see.
