The upcoming weekly lineup in the Metropolitan Opera's Nightly Met Streams series includes filmed presentations of two Philip Glass operas, neither of which are usually cataloged in the New York City company's Live in HD library.
The 2019 Met premiere of Glass' Akhnaten will stream June 20, with Satyagraha available the following day. Both are part of the composer's "Portrait Trilogy," which also includes Einstein at the Beach.
The June 15–21 roster also includes a 1984 staging of La Forza del Destino, starring with Leontyne Price, which will be available for 48 hours from June 18.
The free streams are available starting at 7:30 PM ET each night at MetOpera.org for 23 hours each.
