Knowingly and insistently using a different jargon/vernacular from a person with whom you want to communicate isn't going to get you far.
Especially considering people are already not so keen on classical music

#42The Berlin Philharmonic is doing the same: https://www.digitalconcerthall.com/en/home
I just saw https://www.digitalconcerthall.com/en/concert/204 and it sounds and even looks amazing. Truly a treasure trove.

#43Is there a website or channel or radio , which plays these classsics from various websites randomly ? like a FM radio.

It's pretty old-school but I've found the schedule pretty up-to-date. I've also noticed that some of the programs aren't opera per se but "opera adjacent", like choral music or instrumental music by opera composers. My impression is that there are some programs that regularly stream operas but at any given week might offer something else.
My sense is that there's a lot of opportunity for a well-done classical streaming service. A lot of the traditional channels don't quite work because their catalogue isn't deep enough or their metadata structures are weird and unhelpful (for example, it's impossible to sort by composer alone).

#44This is cool! Tickets to live shows are usually pretty pricey, and these are some of the best performances in the world.

I listen to a stream of a Los Angeles station called KUSC all the time. It’s a fantastic station (unless they’re doing a pledge drive, but don’t worry, they just did one) and it’s comforting that it’s the same hosts no matter where I travel. Asking to play it works across all major devices and platforms.

#50Can we stop advertising time-limited singup-requiring trials as "opened for free" ? Because for that matter - so did pornhub.
I'm now watching Das Rheingold without having had to provide payment details or the like, though I did have to create a user account (just username/password). Mind you, some mightn't find that as... err.... exciting as some other options... but for me it will do just fine for now.
