MET OPERA: LIVE IN HD SUMMER ENCORE SEASON

In response to a successful 2023 – 2024 Met Live in HD season the Rehoboth Beach Film Society is pleased to present The Little Met by the Sea - The Metropolitan Opera: Live in HD Summer Encore Series at the Cinema Art Theater. This award-winning series will feature four spectacular productions – just in case you missed their debut. Since its initial broadcast in 2006 “The Met: Live in HD” has grown exponentially with classical music lovers from around the world proving opera can have a place in their local cinema theaters. It is now the largest provider of alternative cinema content in the world that reaches more than 2,000+ venues in countries across six continents. CAT’s Summer Encore season presents Wednesday matinees that begin with Puccini’s La Boheme which will play 2:00 pm on July 24; La Cenerentola (Rossini) at 2:00 pm July 31, Turandot (Puccini) at 2:00 pm August 7 and Porgy and Bess (The Gershwin’s) at 2:00 pm on August 14. In addition to the opera performance, the summer encore series features Met opera stars conducting live interviews with cast and/or various production crew members while showing behind-the-scene features. In celebration of the launch of The Little MET By The Sea, the Film Society’s 2024/2025 MET series will be screened LIVE from New York City. A return to the former MET live premieres hosted at Cape Henlopen H.S., the Film Society thanks its patrons for their donations to secure the satellite equipment necessary for the Cinema Art Theater.
