The At-Home Gala is part of the Met’s urgent “The Voice Must Be Heard” fundraising campaign to support the company and protect its future. This gala is generously sponsored by Mercedes T. Bass and Rolex.

The Metropolitan Opera is to take its nightly HD encore streams Scheduled for 1 pm EDT on April 25, the newly announced “At-Home Gala” will live stream performances by some 40 major artists from around the world via Skype from their homes, using their laptops. General Manager Peter Gelb, who will produce the event from his apartment on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, calls the potentially logistical nightmare a “great artistic but low-tech operation.” He will serve as co-host in New York with Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin in Montreal, who will also participate as a pianist.

 “I can’t tell you how happy it makes me for all these tremendous artists to be able to come together and perform in this way during this time of crisis,” said Nézet-Séguin. “While we cannot wait to get back to the Met stage, for the moment, this is the next best thing.”

The gala will stream from metopera.org and be available on demand until 6:30 p.m. EDT the next day. It is a component of the company’s “The Voice Must Be Heard” fundraising campaign, the goal of which is $60,000–the amount of anticipated losses from the prematurely shuttered season..
