The Met has cancelled all events for a few weeks. European opera houses cancelled everything last week and even big sporting events are being affected...

Looks like the wise advice is to just stay home, call it self-isolation or quarantine. Avoid getting within 6 feet of people and all that.

But unlike other periods in history we are blessed to have so much available at our fingertips right in hour homes. So get comfy... keep up on liquids (water, tea, champagne?) and dive into some opera!
