The Metropolitan Opera´s Live in HD broadcasts to audiences all over the world - now in their fifth season - have been a deserved success. The extremely high technical quality of the HD picture and sound makes the experience the closest possible to the "real thing". Hopefully other opera and concert houses will follow the Met´s example and make their performances and concerts available in the same way.
The tradition of using modern technology in bringing live opera performances to international audiences is not new. At least as early as 1925 performances from the Paris opera were "broadcast" to people´s living rooms through telephone lines in several European countries.
