Hyde Collection brings Met opera to Glens Falls

GLENS FALLS, N.Y. (NEWS10) – In the coming months, the Metropolitan Opera House is coming to the Hyde Collection – digitally. “The Met: Live in HD” is broadcasting at the Warren Street museum starting this October, with opera and more running until next May.

The series includes a opera based on the life of Malcolm X, a performance of “The Magic Flute,” and more – all simulcast from the stage of the Met. In cooperation with the Sembrich Museum in Bolton Landing, several opera events will feature a 15-minute preview discussion with artists and musicians. Once the live show gets started, artists involved with the Met give behind-the-scenes glimpses and live interviews with the people who make shows possible.

“We are so excited to offer the 2023-24 season of “The Met: Live in HD,” said Hyde Collection Education and Engagement Curator Katelyn Foley. “We have been working on this new offering for several years and are so pleased to bring this new cultural opportunity to our region.”

“The Met” joins other existing events that make up the museum’s “On Screen @ The Hyde” program. Other offerings on the schedule include plays, films, and documentaries from around the world, as part of the museum’s “National Theatre Live” and “Great Art on Screen” series. Performances are $20 per ticket; $18 for Hyde Collection members and students; and $5 for children under age 12. Shows with student matinees are priced at $10 for students with ID.
