SHOW DESCRIPTION

Opera lovers, rejoice! If you can't make it to New York to see a performance at the Metropolitan Opera, the next best thing to being there is to see one of its Saturday matinees broadcast on PBS. Originally aired as part of its ``Great Performances'' series, the programs got their own title in 2006. With operatic standards like ``Aida,'' ``The Barber of Seville'' and ``Turandot,'' and performances by some of opera's biggest names, including Reneé Flemming, Placido Domingo and Anna Netrebko, the series brings the best of modern opera into American homes.
