The 10th anniversary season kicks off on 3rd October starring Anna Netrebko as Leonora next to Dmitri Hvorostovsky and Yonghoon Lee in Verdi’s IL TROVATORE. The series will feature live transmissions of ten performances, including all six new productions in the Met season. In 2007 Clasart Classic organized the first live in HD transmission from the Metropolitan Opera, New York, to German and Austrian movie theatres. Since then nearly 1.5 million tickets have been sold in Germany and Austria for 76 productions. The number of participating cinemas has grown from 5 to nearly 200, which makes the German-speaking market the one with the most viewers outside America. Within the Alternative Content sector the MET LIVE IN HD series has taken the leading position. Please visit us at www.metimkino.de.
