One of the things I love about opera is how it opens up a whole world of history and education.

This week’s Met Opera free video streams offer a host of historical learning opportunities. After seeing these operas for the first time, I immersed myself in Wikipedia to learn more!

Hope you will enjoy learning more while we all stay close to home...
