As Europe shifts into full-on live performance mode, you will notice that many of the streams on offer tend to shift toward U.S.-based companies.

Of course, many of those performances on offer are quite exciting and we are going to be continually bringing them the attention they deserve.

And speaking of continuing to bring attention to truly deserved streams, we want to remind you of the important discussions taking place regarding issues of race and equality in opera. Major artists are leading those discussions via such online shows as Karen Slack’s “KikiKonversations,” Kenneth Overton’s “Black Opera Live,” “The Sitdown with LB,” hosted by Lawrence Brownlee, TDO Network’s “Taking the Stage with Kristian and Quo,” and Mark S. Doss’ “Heart and Soul” series on Sunday afternoons.

Romeo et Juliette – Metropolitan Opera (July 23)

While she’s undeniably put together some formidable dramatic performances in recent years, Anna Netrebko was arguably at her finest vocally in this series of Met Opera performances. When you consider the fact that she accomplished the run alongside four tenors, it certainly adds to the interest factor. In this performance, she appears alongside Roberto Alagna, with whom she had incredible chemistry. It’s one of the finest Met Opera live in HD streams in recent years. The floating bed during the big love scenes is one of the most evocative visual moments in the HD series. Plácido Domingo conducts.
