Starting its third year of podcast programming, The Metropolitan Opera Guild will add 20 broadcasts this 2017–2018 season to the 79 already in its library.
So far, the guild has received encouraging feedback. A man from Westchester, New York, reported that he listens to them to de-stress during a daily walk. A woman from Skokie, Illinois, said she was happy to be introduced to “William Tell;” prior to the podcast, she’d only known about the opera’s overture, which was used as the theme song for the TV show “The Lone Ranger.”
