At the end of August through early September, the Met Opera hosts outdoor screenings of past Live in HD performances at the plaza at Lincoln Center. The recorded performances are shown on a giant screen hanging from the facade of the opera house. This free event is open to all and seating is first-come, first-served. You may bring your own chair to set up on the perimeter of the plaza if you aren’t able to grab one of the already set up chairs.
