Terrible App

I am very disappointed in the app. I organised a monthly subscription and it still won’t let me view any of the on demand performances. I would not recommend this app to anyone. There is not even any contact details to inform service support at the Met on the Opera, app or website. There goes my money!! Not happy at all.

Dreadful app

Awful app, doesn't work on my Apple TV or iPhone. Don't waste your time on it. Great pity.

Not quite 5 stars

This app works with the Metropolitan Opera's streaming service, whereby a subscription gets you access to a growing catalogue of video and audio recordings of the company's performances. If you have ever been to one of the Met's HD cinema screenings, this is that experience exactly, now available to view on demand on your iPad (but not iPhone or iPod Touch). The service claims to be 2-3 months behind the cinema release, which is a pretty generous estimate, but there is still a lot of material available here, with the promise of new performances being added on a regular basis.

I've been waiting for this app for a long time, as until now the service required you to either hook your computer up to your television (a pain) or watch on your computer screen (a bigger pain). Having access via the iPad reminds me why I love it so much (and if anything will persuade me to trade in iPad 1 for the new retina screen version, this app might well be it). The picture and sound are good, and the interface easy to navigate. However, it is seriously hobbled by not having Airplay functionality, so that you can stream the video to your television. This is something that should be addressed, and I imagine that a lot of users would also like the opportunity to download operas to watch offline later. It would also be nice to have an iPhone/iPod Touch version, not so much for the video, as for the large number of audio recordings (these go back decades and if you are into historical performances, you will be in heaven at the choice).

There's a small bug which needs to be ironed out: while watching the opera, the clock/battery information bar at the top of the screen does not disappear. This is very distracting and needs to be fixed up. When it is, and an Airplay option is added, this will become a five star app, but in the meantime, if you like opera, you should consider signing up for the 7 day free trial.
