Met Opera enthusiasts want simulcast access

Greensboro should have the live HD performances from the Metropolitan Opera. Raleigh, Charlotte and Asheville have them and so should we.

A large number of people from Greensboro drove to Danville, Va., to see the Met live at a theater there. It is embarrassing that these live HD simulcasts are not available in the Triad.

Any theater that did it would have sold-out performances. The Carousel has the equipment and the Regal Cinemas are showing Met performances in many places but, alas, not here.

They are missing a great opportunity and we are missing some of the best music in the world.

I talked to the manager at the Regal in Friendly. She told me to call corporate headquarters so I did, but, of course, could not talk to a human. I left a message and the call has not been returned. I tried email as well. Which ever local theatre can carry the HD performances will win many friends in this area.

Performances are happening and we are missing out.
