Peter Gelb, the incoming general manager of the Metropolitan Opera, unveiled his plans for the 2006-07 season and beyond at a press conference today.
Standing on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House, Gelb declared his intention to "build on the Met’s great strengths" while reconnecting the company "to a broader public."
Among the plans outlined by Gelb today were an increased number of new productions at the company; more performances by star singers; a collaboration with Lincoln Center Theater on new works; lower ticket prices for some seats; the delivery of live, high-definition video of Met performances to homes and movie theaters; and high-profile productions for the future, including an opera by Osvaldo Golijov and a new Ring cycle

Personalmente lo que más me ha llamado la atención, puesto que dudo que vaya al MET nunca, es ésto:
In another attempt to connect with a larger audience, the Met will begin delivering high-definition video of its productions next season, taking advantage of new technologies and higher network speeds. The performances will be seen live in movie theaters across the country, and may also be available though the iTunes Music Store, the Met’s own web site, and other Internet outlets.
