sorry, I tried two replies to your message and I cannot send messages apparently.

Yes, I know about the MET live HD broadcasts and they are absolutely freakin' amazing! I'll be at Siegfried this Saturday with a proper teutonic picnic packed to sustain me through 5.5 hours of Wagner (Nürnberg Rostbraten Wurst, bavarian triple cream cheese, thermos of hot Oktoberfest Tea that I brought back from Dallmayr's in Munich, etc.)

It truly is amazing the live HD broadcast offerings at the local cattleplexes these days: The LA Philharmonic and the Dude (Mahler 8 coming up in Feb!!!), Shakespeare from the National Theatre in London, live rebroadcasts of classic movies on the big screen (50th Anniversary screening of West Side Story next week!!!). Love these!

 
I am so glad you know about them.. MIL and I are going through the list

She is quite excited about them. The price was amazing. I am thrilled that they offer the opportunity for people across the country to be exposed to and enjoy the love of opera.

Your picnic basket for Wagner sounds wonderful! Will not be attending this Sat; but your basket puts to shame my popcorn and twizzlers! : )
