If you have tix for an arts performance that has been cancelled or postponed, PLEASE consider donating your ticket fee, rather than requesting a refund.

Many arts organizations are going to be the first business casualities from COVID-19. Every dollar of revenue helps.

[Metropolitan Opera @MetOpera]

General Manager Peter Gelb announced today that in response to the coronavirus pandemic and the cancellation of performances, the Met will offer a nightly series of free web streams that will bring opera to audiences while the house is dark—beginning March 16 at 7:30PM ET.
