I totally love that the Met does these broadcasts. Nothing beats being there, but as I can't get up there to see Salome, I'm definitely going to the broadcast for that one. It's such a great way to reach a broader, more diverse audience. Especially for children. Most opera companies now have student outreach programs, where they tour around to local schools and everything. There are so many more ways to reach a younger audience than there used to be. I wish someone had thought of all this when I was in elementary/middle school.
