Worldness on the Move: The Met in the World
This map puts these two sets of radial movements — artists in, broadcasts out — in conversation with one another:
Grey dots represent some (not all!) of the cinemas broadcasting the Met Live in HD series. Some cinemas are missing, due to gaps in the Met's own archival records — broken addresses in their "find your local cinema" widget.
Blue markers represent the birthplaces of composers whose works have been broadcast via HD Live, from its inception in 2006 until the 2018-19 season.
Purple markers represent the birthplaces or hometowns of conductors whose performances have been broadcast via HD Live, 2006-7 to 2018-19
Green markers represent the birthplaces or hometowns of principle singers whose performances have been broadcast via HD Live, 2006-7 to 2018-19.
