The project, which required the installation of high-tech equipment, was made possible through a donation by Frederick Iseman ’74, CEO of Capital Partners, a member of the Met Opera board and a self-proclaimed opera lover. The School of Music will broadcast the Met Opera’s Live in HD series - a series of high-definition operas transmitted live to movie theaters across the world - at Sprague Hall beginning Oct. Starting next month, Yalies will no longer need to go to New York to see the Metropolitan Opera.
