The Metropolitan Opera, through PermissionTV, is now offering Met Player, a new online subscription streaming service that continues to expand the Met’s use of digital media.
The Met Player will offer subscribers access to 170 full-length performances—including 13 operas shot in high-definition video, 37 standard-definition videos, and 120 historic audio recordings. Selections from the Met’s video and audio archives will be available to opera-lovers everywhere and at any time. Perfect for the audiophile and videophile crowd that classical fans tend to be (see DVD-A and SACD demographics).
In addition to online viewing, users can extend their Met Player experience by connecting their computers to HD TV sets and home-stereo sound systems. PermissionTV and the Met are leveraging Move Network’s technology to power the player.
