Jonas Kaufmann's Met Opera Stars LIve concert from an abbey near his hometown of Munich. You can still catch it through the 29th.
It was spectacularly moving by any standard, so heartbreaking given the situation. I was in tears at the beginning just realizing how much we have lost. Although the live stream on Sat afternoon had a few glitches, there are none whatsoever in subsequent streamings. Jonas was in amazing voice and presence. Additionally, throughout the live performance the Met inserted scenes from Jonas's HD broadcasts. Quite the show; absolute heaven for Jonas fans. Well worth the $20.
