The 2014 production was filmed for the company’s Live in HD series, and is available to watch for 23 hours after the start time at metopera.org. You can still stream Friday’s opera, Götterdämmerung, until 6:30 p.m. on Saturday.
On Saturday, March 28 at 8 p.m. EST, Tony-winning dynamo Kristin Chenoweth returns to Stars in the House.
