Everyone knows about Netflix, Hulu, and Disney streaming services, but how about trying something a little different to entertain you and yours while safe at home. Try watching Opera for the first time or playing games with family remotely.
🎭 Broadway
Albeit confusing, here’s a list of Broadway musicals that you can stream online.

🎶 Opera: The Met
Now streaming nightly recordings of performances at the Met. The subtitles are super handy! If you have ever listened to opera, or have ever wanted to, The Met is a great place to start.

📺 PBS
There are so many things to watch on PBS that you probably didn’t even realize. I have a monthly membership, which I think is only $5. But there are a lot of free videos available online and through their streaming apps. Shows include all kinds of musical performances, documentaries about every National Park, Nova, Nature, every awesome BBC show, PBS Newshour, Broadway related shows, and much, much more!

🖥 Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube
There’s too much being streamed for free right now on these platforms to even list them all. More is announced daily but you have to be following your favorite artists and brands to hear about them. Bedroom concerts, At-Home news coverage, Zoom talks and classes, and more.
