Streaming Options replace Live Shows

There has been a move to have streamed performances replace live shows. This is a thread to let others know of any such performances so we can all enjoy them.

I’ll go first.

Starting Monday, the NY Metropolitan Opera House will stream a new opera from their Met in HD series every night for free. The show starts at 7:30 pm EST. The first week schedule is below:

Thanks for that !unfortunately middle of my night :sleeping:

I’m loving the Shut In and Sing series (Folk/Country/Anericana). Saw my first gig tonight, drawn in by Amber Rubarth. It wasn’t without its technical hitches, ironically particularly with her set, but I’ve discovered a bunch of artists I didn’t know before, as well as an album of hers that I didn’t know and have purchased from Bandcamp. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
